Overwatch 2 Palace Royals Mega Bundle: What’s included and is it worth it?

The Palace Royals Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle is a royalty-themed cosmetics bundle that includes Legendary skins and other cosmetics for a particular set of heroes. The bundle has been anticipated by some Overwatch 2 players thanks to the inclusion of Mercy’s Royal Princess skin, which, as the name suggests, reimagines the support hero as a princess. 

The bundle has several good-looking skins, but is it worth the high price of 4,500 Overwatch Coins? Let’s take a closer look at the Palace Royals Mega Bundle to see what is included.

As mentioned, the Palace Royals Mega bundle is a royalty-themed bundle of cosmetics that includes skins, sprays, name cards, player icons, and a weapon charm. Here is everything included in the bundle:

The Palace Royals Mega Bundle costs 4,500 Overwatch coins at the time of writing (June 2025, a week after the bundle was released). Overwatch coins have to be purchased with real money, and the conversion rate means that players will have to pay around $50 for this bundle. The prices of Overwatch Coins are as follows:

If players have no Overwatch Coins saved up, they will need to purchase several coin bundles or a 5,700 coin bundle for $50. It makes more sense to purchase the $50 bundle, even though it will leave players with an additional 1,200 Overwatch Coins. 

The other options are more expensive, as two bundles of 2,200 coins would cost the same amount, but would not be enough for the bundle. Players would need to spend another $10 on the bundle of 1,000 coins with this option, which would amount to $60. Because of this, the best choice is to purchase the 5,700 Overwatch coin pack for $49.99 if you want the Palace Royals Mega Bundle. 

So, is the bundle worth it for this price? This, of course, depends on personal preferences and how much importance each player puts on the cosmetic elements of Overwatch 2. However, generally speaking, the bundle does not seem to be worth $50. 

There are some great skins in this bundle, especially the Royal Princess Mercy skin. The Royal Butler Lifeweaver skin is also well-made and original. However, the Royal Prince Lucio skin is not an original cosmetic. It’s a recolour of the Space Prince Lucio skin that was part of the Overwatch 2 season 4 battle pass. The Royal Archer Hanzo skin is not an exact recolour, but it does have similarities to the Young Hanzo and Young Master skins from Overwatch 1. 

This wouldn’t be such an issue if the bundle wasn’t so expensive. For $50, the skins should all be as unique and creative as Mercy and Lifeweaver’s skins. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. 

The other cosmetics in the bundle are also quite disappointing. Though the sprays, name cards, weapon charm, and player icons are well-made, there are no emotes or highlight intros. This means that there are no new or unique animations involved with this bundle. 

This is particularly frustrating, as these skins–and the general theme of royalty–would have easily lent themselves to creative animations. There are also no voice lines, which is an odd decision, as again, this theme had plenty of potential for some fun lines from the characters. 

The bundles being released for Overwatch 2 are somewhat formulaic, though they aren’t all exactly the same. For example, the Street Fighter bundles included animations via highlight intros and emotes, as well as voice lines. As mentioned, the Palace Royals bundle does not have any new animations or voice lines. It also only includes sprays of two of the included characters, rather than for every hero. 

Despite being pricey, the Street Fighter bundles were much more versatile in terms of what was on offer. This often seems to be the case with the crossover event bundles. They tend to get more variety with the included cosmetics, while the original ideas, such as this royalty-themed bundle, don’t get the same treatment. 

This is understandable from a business perspective. Of course, Blizzard is going to put more of their efforts into the crossovers, as they are more lucrative. However, this means that original bundles and cosmetics don’t always get the attention they deserve.

The content within the Overwatch 2 cosmetic bundles also varies in terms of originality. Some skins are entirely original and unique, whereas others are recolours of existing skins. It can be frustrating when an anticipated cosmetic bundle includes recolours, as it feels like an easier and, quite frankly, lazier option. This becomes all the more irritating when the prices for these bundles remain high. 

There is a certain formulaic design to the bundles in the way that they are released and their bloated pricing. Although each bundle contains something different in terms of what kind of cosmetics players get and the themes that surround them, they often include similar content, even if the types of cosmetics within them fluctuate. 

The Palace Royals Mega Bundle is a costly cosmetic set that is only really worth it for those who are particularly invested in it. For $50, players should at least get some new animations with emotes or highlight intros. The skins included should also be unique and not include recolours. There is nothing wrong with recoloured skins, but they should not be included in bundles that will cost the player $50. The Royal Princess Mercy skin might be enough to persuade some players to get this bundle, but it hardly feels like enough to warrant the high price tag.
