Overwatch 2 Players Divided: Controversy Surrounding the Paid Story Missions in Invasion Update

Players of Overwatch 2 claim they want to make a statement to Blizzard by choosing not to purchase the August-released story missions update. Blizzard revealed Invasion, the most significant update to Overwatch 2, during this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. Flashpoint, a brand-new PvP game mode, and Hero Mastery will also be included.

Though, unlike the primary game, players must pay to access the story content, three-story missions are arguably the most exciting addition to Invasion. Users of Overwatch 2 who are interested in completing these tasks need to budget $15 for the Invasion Bundle. The deal will also feature a Sojourn Legendary skin, 1,000 Overwatch Coins, and perpetual access to playable Sojourn in addition to the three objectives. Overwatch fans are wondering whether the additional content will be worthwhile as the release date of Invasion approaches.

Unpaid story missions, according to Overwatch 2 fans, send a message

A Reddit user using the handle Megaspectree advises other Overwatch 2 players not to purchase the story DLC if they already detest the game. If you need more clarification, save your $15, which will show Blizzard that the game is satisfactory. Ignoring the Invasion Bundle, the Redditor continued, “sends a way better message.” As one might anticipate, views on this approach are divided. Others believe they’ll get their fix through watching playthrough videos or Twitch streams, while some say they’ll purchase the bundle.

The consensus seems that most Overwatch 2 players will purchase the story missions before posting negative reviews on Reddit. “Nah, everyone will purchase them. Similar to how everyone lamented the expensive Kiriko witch skin even though you saw it in every game. Another person joked, “But how will they be able to come to Reddit and say it’s trash and such and that people are stupid for buying it if they don’t buy it?”

The Overwatch 2 community has been experiencing an increase in discontent over the past few months. To the dismay of fans, Blizzard unveiled the paywalled story missions after canceling the eagerly anticipated PvE feature. On August 10, those eager for the material can purchase the Invasion Bundle.
