PlayStation Plus bonus freebie available for subscribers right now

PlayStation Plus subscribers can download a free bonus pack for Overwatch 2, packed with goodies any player won’t want to miss.

Despite being pretty much the same as the first game, Overwatch 2 continues to find new ways to annoy its playerbase.

There’s the famous example of the PvE modes originally planned to be a free add-on before Blizzard-Entertainment backpedalled and decided to charge for it instead. Then there’s the recent Diablo IV collaboration, which introduced overpriced skins that some players are being bullied for buying.

But every now and then a silver lining comes along, like a crack-down on cheaters thanks to new AI tools, more representative character introductions or some freebies depending on your gaming platform.

Not too long ago Xbox Game Pass fans were offered some of the newest Overwatch characters for free, and now it’s PlayStation Plus’ turn to dish out some rewards.

If you have any PlayStation Plus membership, Essential, Extra or Premium, you can navigate the PlayStation store and download a Legendary skin and five battle pass tier skips.

While the tier skips are a nice addition, getting you closer to whatever in-game rewards you have your eyes on, the skin is the real prize, especially if you’re a Support player.

The skin belongs to the robotic, orb-slinging Zenyatta, a great choice for doling out damage whilst also looking after your squad with healing and defence powers.

Equipping the skin transforms him into Toybot Zenyatta, giving the omnic guru a delightful change in aesthetic, as if you’d just unboxed him for Christmas. It also turns his little orbs into little toys as well.

There’s currently no time limit on when you can redeem this, and if you link your Overwatch 2 account to any other platforms you own you’ll be able to use the skin regardless of what your playing it on.
