How To Get Overwatch 2 Twitch Drops
If you’re wondering what Twitch Drops are, they are simply rewards you can gain by watching certain streams on Twitch. Some have certain requirements, such as watching a particular stream for two hours, and you may need to link accounts, but it’s pretty straightforward stuff.
In the case of Overwatch 2, you will need to ensure your Battle.net and Twitch account are linked. You can do that by following this quick guide:
- Login to your Battle.net account which is used for Overwatch 2.
- After logging in, go to the Battle.net connections page.
- Simply click connect on Twitch and follow the instructions to link the two accounts.
Once this has been completed, you will be eligible for any Overwatch 2 rewards that are given out as Twitch Drops. We will most likely see regular updates for new cosmetics being available, so be sure to keep an eye out on the official Overwatch 2 and Blizzard social media channels to stay up to date.

Twitch Drop 1
Players will need to watch six hours total of streams within the Overwatch 2 category from October 7 at 2:00 PM PDT until October 16 at 11:59 PM PDT. The reward for this stream will be the Legendary Sukajan Kiriko skin after four hours of watching and the “I take care of my friends” voice line after two hours.
Twitch Drop 2
Players will need to watch a stream in the Overwatch 2 category on Twitch for two hours from October 17 at 11:00 AM until October 24 at 12:00 AM PDT.

After you’ve watched the stream for the allocated time, you may need to wait up to 24 hours for the rewards to arrive in your Overwatch 2 account.
