How to unlock the free Overwatch 2 Casual Hanzo skin

If you don't have this legendary Hanzo skin already, then you can obtain it free by completing a total of eight matches. These matches don't have to be the Winter Wonderland game modes, either. Simply enter a player-versus-player (PvP) Overwatch 2 game mode to begin gaining some progress! Achieving victory means you can earn this skin faster.

Before you jump into the fray, it's also a good idea to consider the Overwatch 2 Season 14 Premium Battle Pass as well. This is because it gives you an XP boost that lets you earn rewards faster.
