Overwatch Battle Pass Guide
How the battle pass works
Overwatch Season 5: A Grim Doctrine is expected to run until December 8. Finish your battle pass before the next season begins. Each Overwatch season has a battle pass with 80 reward tiers, then Prestige tiers with extra titles for players who finish. The premium pass is bought with Overwatch Coins. XP comes from matches and daily and weekly challenges.
How to level up faster
- Weekly challenges are the big ones
- Weekly challenges give far more XP than daily ones. Clear them early in the week so you are never rushing on reset day.
- Group up for bonus XP
- Playing in a group with friends adds bonus battle pass XP to every match, on top of your normal match XP.
- Double Match XP weekends
- Double Match XP weekends double the XP from playing matches (not from challenges). They are the best time for a long session.
- Any mode counts
- Arcade and event modes earn match XP too, so play whatever you enjoy. Win or lose, longer matches earn more.
Don't Miss Out
Battle pass rewards are exclusive and available only during this season. Make sure to complete your progression before the season ends. Track your tier progress regularly and plan your challenges to unlock all the cosmetics and rewards you want before the deadline.
