In Overwatch 2, you can get the premium currency, Overwatch Coins, for free by completing the Weekly challenges. Completing all Weekly challenges for a given week can net you 60 Overwatch Coins. This means, in a month, you can get around 240 Overwatch Coins. And considering the fact that a Season in Overwatch 2 is around 72 days long, you can earn a total of 540 Overwatch Coins utterly free in a Season of Overwatch 2.
