Overwatch has changed quite a bit since it was first released in 2016, most notably with the release of Overwatch 2<\/a> and the move to a free-to-play Battle Pass model.<\/p>\n

However, another significant change has been the steady trickling of new heroes being added to the game, including a few brand-new characters introduced exclusively for Overwatch 2.<\/p>\n

It does mean, however, that we now have a rather sizeable roster of 35 different heroes, who are each unlocked in slightly different ways.<\/p>\n

Luckily, we have compiled a guide of all the playable characters and how to unlock them below \u2013 though new players especially will have to prepare for quite the grind!<\/p>\n

DPS stands for Damage Per Second, which nicely sums up that this class is all about dealing damage to your opponents quickly and painfully. DPS characters are by far the most popular class in Overwatch, which is reflected in its roster which is the largest of all the classes.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that wins count as double progress to completing games! Here\u2019s the list, with how to unlock each character in brackets:<\/p>\n
