Blizzard is giving away free items and periods of double XP to Overwatch 2 players to apologize for the unstable servers since release.
Since Overwatch 2 came out last week, the game has suffered from multiple DDoS attacks, making the game unplayable at times. Various bugs have also surfaced – including those related to selecting certain characters and buying skins automatically.
To accommodate players, everyone will receive a Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary Skin, a Health Pack Weapon Charm and multiple double XP weekends, Blizzard has announced. When these weekends will be held, will be communicated shortly.
When #Overwatch2 launch is bumpy you make it up to players 😤

Blizzard says that the game is now almost stable, and that it continues to investigate and solve possible problems. Sometime later this week, another patch should be released that makes the game more stable.
