Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 bundles: What’s included, and are they worth it?

The Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter collaboration is now available in the Overwatch 2 shop. There are various bundle options, all of which include select skins and cosmetics of Overwatch 2 heroes as Street Fighter characters. 

The crossover has some great cosmetics, but they come at a high price. So, are the Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter bundles worth the price of admission, or are they simply a shameless cash grab attempt by Blizzard? 

The crossover between Blizzard’s Overwatch 2 and Capcom’s Street Fighter is an event in Overwatch 2 that is only available for a limited time. The main feature of the event is all-new cosmetics based on Street Fighter characters. These cosmetics include skins along with other items such as victory poses, highlight intros, name cards, and more. 

The event also includes in-game challenges that can be completed to earn free rewards. There are no skins to be earned from the in-game challenges, but players can obtain voice lines, and sprays. 

Let’s take a closer look at what exactly is included in the Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter purchasable bundles.

First up are the individual bundles, which are available for each of the eight Overwatch heroes that are part of the Street Fighter crossover. All the bundles cost 2,800 Overwatch Coins, except for Sigma’s M. Bison bundle, which is 2,000. 

A price of 2,800 coins is around $30 in real money, while 2,000 is around $20, though it can be slightly more or less depending on whether you have any coins saved up. Here is what you can find in each individual bundle. 

These two mega bundles split the character cosmetics in half, with Dhalsim Zenyatta, Chun-Li Juno, Ryu Hanzo and M. Bison Sigma in bundle 1 and Blanka Winston, Juri Kiriko, Cammy Widowmaker and Guile Soldier: 76 in bundle 2. Each bundle includes all the cosmetics in the individual bundles for the four heroes. 

Both mega bundles cost 5,900 Overwatch Coins. The closest coin bundle to this amount is the 6,000 coin bundle, which includes an additional 500 coins. This will cost around $60.  

The ultra bundle features all of the cosmetics for the Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter crossover event. Because of this, it is the most expensive bundle, costing 9,900 Overwatch coins. The 10,000 Overwatch coin bundle, with an additional 1,800 bonus coins, costs around $100. Players who want everything for all the heroes are going to have to thoroughly empty their wallets to do so. 

Whether the Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter bundles are worth it is a matter of opinion. However, even those who are big fans of the Overwatch 2 cosmetics and Street Fighter are sure to have a hard time justifying that $100 price tag for the ultra bundle. The individual bundles are still pricey, but more understandable. The mega bundles are also pretty steep, but the ultra bundle is a whole other level of expensive. 

That being said, there is no denying that the skins are mostly well-made. Some players have taken issue with Soldier: 76’s Guile skin, as the outfit he wears is very similar to his default skin. For the cost, players should really be getting more than a glorified recolour. However, the other skins are creative and well-designed. The rest of the cosmetics are also pretty good, especially the highlight intros, which include a voice announcer to reflect the announcers from Street Fighter.

One problem that the bundles have is that the characters do not have an equal number of items. For example, Juno has nine items in her Chun-Li bundle, while Sigma only has five items in his M. Bison bundle, with two of his cosmetics being voice lines. There is clearly some favouritism going on when it comes to which characters get more cosmetics. 

Sigma’s M.Bison bundle is the only one that is slightly cheaper, but he isn’t the only hero that doesn’t have as many cosmetics as some of the other characters. Winston also only has five cosmetics in his Blanka bundle, but it is the same price as the other individual bundles. While it is good to see characters like Winston and Sigma being included in a crossover, they aren’t receiving the same attention as others. 

So, are any of these bundles worth the cost? Well, if you are particularly invested in Overwatch 2 cosmetics and the Street Fighter games, then it might be worth purchasing one of these bundles. However, it simply isn’t worth $100 for the ultra bundle, even though you will receive all the cosmetics created for the crossover. 

The only way this price would be worth it is if you have the finances to afford it, and you know that you will use these cosmetics frequently. Otherwise, opt for one of the smaller, cheaper bundles for a hero you use more often than the others.
