Overwatch 2 Twitch drops: How to get the Legendary Kiriko skin

Overwatch 2 Twitch drops are a decent way of getting fun in-game stuff without having to shell out your hard-earned cash. Though not quite free—since you’ll be paying for them with your time—they are convenient for those who’d be watching streams anyway, or who are open to starting. That said, you could also just open a stream in a separate tab and mute it if you just want the stuff.

If you’re unfamiliar with Twitch drops, they are rewards you get for watching Twitch streams of a particular game, in this case, Overwatch 2. If you watch enough, you can even unlock a Legendary skin for the new character, Kiriko, as well as some other in-game cosmetics and a special voiceline. In this Overwatch 2 Twitch drops guide, I’ll explain how to activate Twitch Drops, when you’ll need to watch, and how to claim them once you’re done.

How to set up Overwatch 2 Twitch drops

• Log in to Battle.net launcher
• Click the top left Battle.net symbol and select ‘My Account’
• Click ‘Connections’ on the left side then press the +Connect next to Twitch at the bottom
• Log in to your Twitch, click ‘Authorise’, and then click ‘Continue’
