Overwatch 2 had its official launch yesterday, and it was crazy after the problems that Blizzard has been facing to get its servers working, causing many players to be left out with long hours of waiting without success.
Besides that, many questions have been raised about the game. A very recurring question is whether console players need to pay a monthly online subscription to be able to play the title, as it was in the case of the original game.
For several years, the major console companies decided to charge to allow you to play online. So if you have an Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One, you need Xbox LIVE to play online; PlayStation 5 and 4 require PlayStation Plus, and Nintendo Switch requires Nintendo Switch Online.

How is it in the case of Overwatch 2?
DO I NEED TO PAY ONLINE SERVICE TO PLAY OVERWATCH 2?
The good news for everyone is that it doesn't. It is not necessary to have an online service subscription to be able to play the game Overwatch 2; this is different from its first installment, in which back then, in addition to paying for the game, you have to pay to play it.
This change is due to the leading console companies' policy that free-to-play games do not require a subscription to play online and thus provide an authentic free experience.
That's excellent news, don't you think? So don't worry; run to your console, download Overwatch 2, and play its games for free.
