Highlights in Overwatch 2

Highlights in Overwatch 2 are special in-game moments that showcase exceptional plays, often featuring a player's most impressive kills or objective captures. These animations are automatically generated by the game engine, capturing a brief but impactful sequence of gameplay. They serve as a reward for skillful play and a way to share memorable moments with teammates and the broader community. You can save and export these highlights to share outside of the game, further immortalizing their achievements.

The 'Highlight Intro' is a cosmetic item that customizes the animation shown when a player achieves 'Play of the Game' or when their performance is showcased on the Progression page. These intros can range from simple character poses to elaborate cinematic sequences, adding a personal touch to these prestigious moments. Collecting a variety of Highlight Intros allows players to express their personality and style, making each 'Play of the Game' even more impactful and visually engaging. They are a key part of personalizing your Overwatch 2 experience.

Types of Highlights and Intros

• Play of the Game (PotG): The system automatically selects the most impactful play from a match to be showcased.
• Progression Page Highlights: Shorter clips shown after each game, summarizing individual performance.
• Custom Highlight Intros: Cosmetic items that replace the default animation for PotG and Progression highlights.

Acquiring Highlight Intros

Highlight Intros can be obtained through several methods:

1. Battle Pass: Many seasons feature unique Highlight Intros as rewards within the Battle Pass tiers.
2. In-Game Shop: The shop often sells Highlight Intros, either individually or in bundles, for Overwatch Coins or Credits.
3. Achievements: Some specific achievements may unlock associated Highlight Intros.
4. Events: Limited-time events can introduce exclusive Highlight Intros as rewards for completing challenges.

Using Highlight Intros

Once acquired, Highlight Intros can be equipped in the hero customization menu. You can select their preferred intro for each hero, ensuring their most impressive moments are presented in style.
