Overwatch 2 players frustrated with the amount of effort (or cash) required to earn precious Coins in order to purchase cosmetics for their favorite heroes may be in for a treat - there's another way to earn Overwatch 2 coins without spending any money, and it involves Microsoft's Rewards program.

How to Get Overwatch 2 Coins With Microsoft Rewards

Microsoft Rewards is a program available to Overwatch 2 players on Xbox Series X/S consoles and PCs. It allows users to link up their Microsoft Accounts to their Overwatch Accounts, which then allows them to earn points in various ways and in turn earn them free Overwatch Coins.

There are a couple of ways to earn Microsoft Reward Points and redeem them in Overwatch 2: Players can search using Bing or Edge, interact with Cortana, install official Microsoft apps and complete tasks on the earn page. According to WindowsCentral, It's possible to earn around 300-350 points per day using these methods. Redeeming these points gives Reward codes through Battle.net, which can crucially be redeemed on any platform, not just those where the points were earned.

Earning Coins with Microsoft Rewards is a new strategy available to Overwatch 2 players that will let them purchase the Battle Pass or desired cosmetics without breaking the bank, especially useful to players who want to keep their free-to-play game truly free-to-play. This may be especially fortuitous to players who want to complete the Season 2 Battle Pass with the new Double XP promotion and earn Premium Rewards in advance of Season 3's release.
