The prime gaming rewards were monthly in-game drops that Amazon Prime members receive. Not only Overwatch, many other games are also a part of prime gaming. Alongside these rewards, players can also get free games across multiple platforms like GOG or Microsoft Store.
However, this is not the firs time a game is leaving the Prime Gaming roster. In the past, games like Call of Duty also had Prime Gaming drops but were discontinued. Back in December, Riot Games also announced that Amazon has decided not to renew this promotion and drops across their games will be not available after March 2024. Although this time, there hasn’t been any word from Blizzard.
Fans have hilarious reactions
Overwatch 2 release with a lot of criticism, mainly due to the game being less than what was promised to the player base. Despite that, players still game them a chance, which was again met with disappointment. While the game still have an active community, everyone displayed their frustration with an overwhelmingly negative review on Steam.
