Blizzcon 2026: How to Get the Free Mythic Skin in Overwatch

Every single Overwatch player can unlock a Mythic skin for free during a new event. Here’s a tutorial.

Overwatch is Giving All Players a Free Mythic Skin

Blizzcon 2026 has been one of the convention’s most surprising years yet. We’ve already gotten some major Overwatch reveals, like Sombra’s rework from DPS to Support, new Hero Doctrine, and even an animated Netflix series. Now, another announcement joins the list: Overwatch is giving all players a free Mythic Skin to celebrate.

That’s right, every single player who logs into Overwatch this weekend can get a Mythic Skin completely free. This is part of the Blizzcon 2026 in-game event. First, you’ll get a Mythic Voucher. Then, you can choose one of fourteen Mythic skins from Season 1-Season 14. The devs call it “A Mythic thank you to the community.”

As a token of our appreciation, here’s a Mythic gift we think you might enjoy 🎁

How to Get the Free Mythic Skin in Overwatch with the Mythic Voucher

The free Mythic Voucher is part of an in-game event. You don’t need to download any updates or even watch the Blizzcon stream to get it. Just follow these steps:

• Make sure your Overwatch client is updated, and launch the game.
• Go to the ‘Blizzcon Mythic Gift’ banner on the bottom of your home page.
• Select ‘Open Event.’
• Here, you’ll see a ‘Complete Challenge’ screen. Play one game in any mode to complete the challenge.
• Congrats! You’ve just unlocked your free Mythic Voucher.

It’s important to note that the Mythic Voucher can’t unlock all Overwatch Mythic Skins. Players have to choose from a predetermined set.

To pick which Mythic Skin you want, progress to the Selection screen. Here, you can see which Heroes are available. Overwatch also added an option to try out the skins in the Practice Range before you spend your voucher on them, so you can take your time picking!

Once you’re ready to commit, select your chosen skin and redeem the voucher. It will immediately appear in your Overwatch Hero inventory under the Cosmetics tab.
