Souvenirs are just one of the many types of cosmetic collectibles that you can earn (or unlock) in Overwatch 2. They are basically a different kind of emote for you to show off during matches.
Secondly, every hero in the game can be equipped with an exclusive souvenir, giving you a new layer of freedom in Overwatch 2 when it comes to customization. The following guide will tell you how to unlock and equip souvenirs in Overwatch 2.
How to get souvenirs in Overwatch 2
The only way to get some souvenirs in the sequel is to level up your battle pass. Blizzard Entertainment has made it clear that every seasonal battle pass will contain numerous souvenirs for players to earn at various tiers.
That includes both the free and paid version of the battle pass, albeit buying the battle pass means getting access to more and cooler souvenirs.
For instance, you can unlock the Mechanical Brain souvenir at level 7 if you have purchased the battle pass. You also get a Pineapple Pizza souvenir at level 23 even if you haven’t purchased the battle pass.
