The last step is now to watch your favorite streamers on Twitch. Usually, it takes about six hours to get all the rewards, sometimes more. Remember that the streamer has to be playing Overwatch 2 and has Drops-Enabled. You can usually see this on the streamer’s title (most of the time, they indicate that drops are enabled) or beside the Overwatch 2 tag.

After you have racked enough hours, head over to your Drops and Rewards menu, which is under your account. Click claim on the rewards (usually hero skins and other in-game cosmetic items), which should appear in-game in Overwatch 2 within 24 hours. Note that when you change your Tꦡwitch password, you must reconnect your Battle.net account, or else the drop will expire within seve♛n days.
