This Sakura Kiriko bundle is available starting on Feb. 27 at 11 a.m. PT as part of the weekly shop rotation, and players typically have a week to decide whether or not they would like to add a new skin to their collection. On a weekly basis, skins may either remain in the shop or appear in the rotation another time. Some skins are limited edition, however.

How to get the Cherry Blossom Kiriko skin for free

The epic Kiriko skin costs either 1,000 or 1,900 Overwatch Coins depending if you're getting it individually or through the bundle option. Overwatch Coins refer to an in-game currency that's shown at the top-right of the game's menu. If you don't wish to purchase more Overwatch Coins, then you can get some for free through Microsoft Rewards.

Another way to get free Overwatch Coins involves completing the weekly challenges. Doing four of them results in 30 Overwatch Coins, while completing nine challenges results in 20 more. Finally, doing all 12 weekly challenges grants you 10 extra Overwatch Coins for free.
