The much-anticipated collaboration between Overwatch 2 and K-pop sensation Le Sserafim has finally been released. This collaboration introduces a unique game mode, special hero cosmetics, and an animated music video featuring characters at a Le Sserafim concert. However, the release of these new skins, emotes, and other cosmetics have left fans divided over the cost of the collaboration. Let's delve into the reasons behind the varying opinions.

What Is the Most Cost-Effective Way to Purchase the Overwatch 2 x Le Sserafim Cosmetics?

The event introduces new skins, emotes, victory poses, and name cards for five of the game's heroes - Tracer, Sombra, Kiriko, Brigitte, and D.Va. Each hero has individual bundles that cost 2500 premium coins ($25). Interestingly, Kiriko also gets a weapon charm, but her bundle doesn't cost more than the others.

Purchasing each bundle separately would amount to $125, but they are bundled together for 6800 coins ($68) - about half of the individual price. Additionally, there is a limited-time discount on buying 7500 coins, which usually costs around $75, but is currently on sale for $50. This means you can buy everything sold during the collaboration for $50 if you choose wisely.

How to Afford the Overwatch 2 x Le Sserafim Bundles?

If you've been diligently saving your coins earned through weekly challenges, you might be able to afford one of these bundles without spending any real money. However, as Overwatch 2 is a free-to-play game built around grinding, you might still need to spend some money.

Overwatch 2 Fans' Opinions on the Costs

While some fans are relieved that this isn't a $100 bundle, others argue that even if it bypasses the usual restrictions of Overwatch 2's store, $50 is still a hefty price to pay for character customization. "Hey guys, five cosmetics are ONLY as much as a full-sized video game," commented a Redditor.

The value of microtransactions varies from person to person, and trying to set a universal standard for how much something "should" cost will undoubtedly lead to online disputes. There's already plenty of debate over the Overwatch 2 X Le Sserafim collab. However, for some, the math checks out compared to other live service games.

"I have issues with the pricing, don't get me wrong, but this, alongside the coin bundle bonus, actually seems fine," wrote a Reddit user. "If you tried to get five collab sets in Fortnite, it'd cost you 12.2k (which means you'll have to get the highest-price bundle, bonuses included). Since the norm in modern live-service monetization discussions is comparing it to Fortnite, I'd say this is actually pretty decent."
