Good news, Overwatch 2 players—your Loot Boxes just got a whole lot better! In a surprise move, Blizzard has quietly downgraded all Epic Souvenirs to Rare quality, making sure your guaranteed Epic Loot Box rewards are actually, well… epic!

This change, which arrived via a stealthy hotfix on February 25, means that Souvenirs will no longer hog the spotlight in high-rarity Loot Boxes. Instead, when you score an Epic drop, you’ll now be treated to cosmetics like skins, victory poses, emotes, weapon charms, or highlight intros—the real MVPs of customization.

For those out of the loop, Season 15 has brought some game-changing updates to Overwatch 2, including the return of Loot Boxes (yes, they’re back!), along with a Perks leveling system. But this seemingly small tweak to Souvenirs might just be the most universally loved update yet.

Historically, Souvenirs have been one of the least exciting cosmetics, often overshadowed by emotes. Now that they’re classified as Rare, players can snag them more easily without feeling like they wasted an Epic pull. It’s a win-win situation—Souvenirs become more accessible, and players can finally look forward to opening Loot Boxes without the fear of disappointment.

With over 100 Loot Boxes available throughout Season 15, there’s never been a better time to dive back in. Overwatch 2 continues to evolve, and this latest tweak proves that even small changes can make a big impact.
