The upcoming Overwatch 2 support hero is set to make its debut on August 10, coinciding with the launch of Season 6 and the exciting OW2 Invasion, which brings a host of PvE missions, fresh game modes, and much more.

While players who opt for the Season 6 Battle Pass will gain access to the new support hero, Xbox is going a step further by granting users the chance to experience all six of the new heroes introduced in Overwatch 2, even if they haven't unlocked them yet.

The Overwatch 2 New Heroes Starter Pack, available as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks on August 10, brings you an impressive lineup that includes Sojourn, Junker Queen, Kiriko, Ramattra, Lifeweaver, and the brand-new support hero. Additionally, the pack comes with Legendary Skins and various other exciting in-game cosmetics.

Unlocking the new Overwatch 2 hero and the accompanying goodies is a breeze. All you need is an Xbox Game Pass subscription, particularly the Ultimate tier, to gain access to the Hero Starter Pack. Each hero comes with its own unique Legendary skin and a collection of other attractive in-game cosmetics.

And for those considering the Invasion PvE content, you'll receive enough Overwatch coins to purchase a Battle Pass and enjoy the perks of the latest addition to the hero roster.
