Overwatch will stop selling loot boxes very soon.
Overwatch will soon put an end to monetized loot boxes, giving players a lot of joy around the world. Loot boxes are some of the most controversial things in modern video games. As gaming grows more popular, developers and publishers are always looking for ways to monetize their products beyond the standard $60 purchase. Sometimes it's DLC or some other kind of one-time purchase, but a lot of online games now feature the ability to purchase some items multiple times.
With Overwatch 2 on the horizon, the original game is expected to remove paid loot boxes at the end of August. Players will still be able to earn loot boxes, but will no longer be able to spend real money to obtain them. Until August 30th, players will also be able to earn and purchase Anniversary Loot Boxes which offer skins and items from previous events and anniversaries.
Overwatch has been one of the last, though not the last, major games still holding on to loot boxes. It seems hard to imagine games like FIFA and Madden steering away from card packs given how successful they are, but that may just be something the sports genre has to accept. Nevertheless, it's good to see loot boxes being phased out.
