Overwatch 2 players are disappointed at the price of Mythic Prisms

Oh, Blizzard.

With the introduction of Mythic Skins in Season 10 of Overwatch 2, players are a little disappointed at the price of Mythic Prisms. This is a new currency required to unlock your favorite heroes’ new and old Mythic skins.

Blizzard set a steep price for Mythic Prisms in Overwatch 2

In Season 10 of Overwatch 2, Blizzard introduced the ability to unlock old Mythic skins using Mythic Prisms, but players are disappointed at the steep price they’re set to. As shared in this Reddit post on the Overwatch subreddit, this user complained about paying around $70 to buy a Mythic skin fully, since you need 50 Mythic Prisms to unlock the base form and 10 for each new level.

Despite this being a fair complaint, it’s a little misleading since players can purchase the Premium Battle Pass for 10 USD and earn up to 80 Mythic Prisms just by completing it. This is a much better deal, but it means you have to play Overwatch 2 enough to slowly accumulate 80 Mythic Prisms. It’s still better to do this than waste 80 USD on 100 Mythic Prisms, but it’ll take some more effort.

Even though a moderator had to mark the post as misleading, many players in the replies are still finding ways to complain about this new currency. One reply was annoyed at this being one of many currencies already in the game alongside Coins, Gold Coins, Credits, Overwatch League Points, and more.

There are still some replies that see Mythic Prisms as a nice addition to the free-to-play hero shooter. Now players can finally unlock old Mythic skins they missed out on, and with 80 Mythic Prisms in the PBP for just $10 you can unlock a base Mythic Skin alongside three higher levels of it. You can also choose to keep your Mythic Prisms to purchase the next Season’s Mythic, so there’s a lot of good that comes from this update.

Other than things you have to pay for in Overwatch 2 Season 10, there are still features completely free, such as Venture’s Sprays and the trial for Clash mode.
