Christmas has blessed Overwatch players with a huge load of freebies. Each player gets five free loot boxes as soon as they log-in their accounts.
Overwatch is a game by Blizzard which requires a one-time purchase to own and play the game. Released in May 2016, Overwatch gained fame from the unique play style that each of its playable characters offer.
In Overwatch, players are grouped into two teams, each with different goals to winning a round. One gaming session is comprised of different rounds, and whichever team wins the most rounds wins the session.
Each game provides experience to the players, where each level up reward players with a loot box that gives rewards when opened. The game's currency is credits or coins where players can use it to purchase skins, victory poses, and other cosmetic upgrades for specific characters. Players can use their coins to purchase cosmetic upgrades, or open loot boxes for a random cosmetic upgrade.
Aside from levelling up, loot boxes can be bought with real money. Two loot boxes are priced at $1.99, while 5 loot boxes are prices at $4.99, and 50 boxes are priced at $39.99.
As a form of thanks to the loyal fans of the game, Blizzard has given five free loot boxes for everybody. The only condition to the free loot boxes is that players should claim it before January 2, 2017.
In a Blizzard blog post, they stated that "It's truly been an eventful and amazing year, and we wanted to take a moment to thank you for being a part of it."
They were happy for the huge participation and support the players showed for the events that surrounded the competitive scene. Each event that was held was positively received by the players while viewership and attendance was higher than they expected.
