Are you guys talking about Overwatch 2 because I think the axed the original Overwatch in Oct of this year.
That is true. Overwatch as most of us remember it, is gone. Only to be replaced by Overwatch 2. In any case, if you had OW1, everything you earned will be transferred over. OW2 on the other hand is free to play. But is using a costly new battle pass system and have to play for most of the new skins and stuff.
