How to unlock the Slasher Soldier: 76 skin in Overwatch 2

To add the Slasher Soldier: 76 skin to your in-game collection, you must first visit the page for it in the PlayStation Store. Then, if you're already a PlayStation Plus member, then you can simply claim the bundle for free.

The next time you launch Overwatch 2, the legendary Soldier: 76 skin should appear in your collection. You can find it by selecting Soldier: 76 in the hero gallery and scrolling through his loadout. Once you have it selected, just press the "Equip" button.

Do note that this spooky offer is only available for a limited time as well. According to the official PlayStation Store, you have until Jan. 16 at 12 a.m. PT to get it. That's the same as Jan. 17 at 3 a.m. ET next year.

Overwatch 2 and PlayStation Plus

This isn't the first time that an Overwatch 2 is being given away to PlayStation Plus members. Earlier this year, for example, members got to claim a free legendary Gwishin Bastion skin. Other past skins include Construction Ramattra, Beekeeper Sigma, Matsuri Kiriko, Runner Sojourn, and more.

If you're interested in getting a PlayStation Plus membership, then visit the official website for it. The options range from monthly ones to yearly ones, and you can choose from the essential, extra, and premium subscriptions.
