Who doesn’t love free epic loot boxes in Overwatch 2? Here’s everything you need to know to claim yours as part of the Season 17 celebration.

Overwatch 2 Season 17 is now live, and you can earn various rewards just by playing the game or watching your favorite streams. Take a look at all the loot boxes available to win with the new season of Overwatch 2!

Twitch loot boxes

As usual, the Overwatch 2 x Twitch collaboration allows you to earn loot boxes just by watching a stream with drops enabled. Until July 7, you can receive one loot box by watching two hours of a stream, and an epic loot box by watching five hours. You can watch any streamer or an official Overwatch 2 broadcast to get the boxes. Then, all you need to do is open your Twitch inventory and redeem your boxes. It can take some time to appear in the game, but don't worry, they will show up.
