Overwatch 2 might be one of the biggest games in the world, but its launch has been anything but seamless. Now, some fans are reporting a nasty glitch that can cause the game to randomly buy skins in the in-game shop for premium currency. Ouch.
While this issue appears to be fixed, it impacted users typing in the in-game chat while also viewing the hero gallery. The Overwatch 2 client interpreted the user’s keypresses as menu shortcuts, which in-turn caused them to accidentally buy a skin that they don’t want for real money.
There’s a bug report covering this issue from the Overwatch 2 beta back in May. However, it came to the wider attention of the Overwatch community via a series of posts in the game’s subreddit. Though one of those posts indicates that the issue is fixed, the poster has not yet received a refund for their errant purchase. Considering they only lost 300 credits in the exchange, they can probably count that as a win.
