Overwatch 2’s inaugural season is over, while Season 2 is up and running. If you haven’t purchased Season 1’s heroes Kiriko, Sojourn, and Junker Queen for 900 Overwatch Coins or unlocked them via the Season 1 Battle Pass, you can now do so completely for free by completing some challenges.

We’ll walk you through all the requirements to unlock Kiriko, Sojourn, and Junker Queen in Overwatch 2.
