Overwatch 2’s long-awaited Invasion season is here, which — among many other things — means there’s a new Battle Pass to level up. Let’s break down everything that’s on both the free and premium tracks.
Ana is getting the Mythic skin treatment this time around. The skin has a Null sector theme and it looks incredible. Like the Season 5 Tracer Mythic skin, this one unlocks in stages at a few different points of the premium Battle Pass. I can’t wait to be constantly changing all of the different elements depending on my mood.
Along with the Ana skin, you’ll be able to unlock skins for Pharah, Torbjorn, new hero Illari, Roadhog, Symmetra, Zarya, Winston and Ashe through the Season 6 Battle Pass.
Of course, you’ll need to buy the premium Battle Pass in order to unlock everything.
‘Overwatch 2’ Invasion/Season 6 Premium Battle Pass
The premium Battle Pass costs 1,000 Overwatch Coins, or around $10. If you buy that, you’ll get a 20% bonus on all XP that you earn during the season, which will help you level up the Battle Pass faster.
Remember that if you buy the $15 Invasion Bundle to access the PvE Story Missions, you’ll also receive enough Overwatch coins to buy the premium Battle Pass.
One other major thing to note: if you buy the premium Battle Pass, you’ll get instant access to the new hero Illari in PvP modes. She won’t be available in competitive play for a few weeks, but you can start getting a handle on her in Quick Play, the Arcade and custom games right now.
Here’s everyone you can unlock on the premium Invasion Battle Pass:

There are tons of wonderful cosmetics in this Battle Pass. Those Null Sector Skins are all fantastic, that Illari look is adorable and I’ll be equipping the Winston skin as soon as possible. I’ve still never used a souvenir though, and I can’t see that changing.

How To Level Up The Battle Pass
You’ll need to earn 10,000 XP to level up the Battle Pass by one tier. You’ll earn XP by playing games and completing daily, weekly, season, event and lifetime challenges. You can find out more details here. As a reminder, the premium Battle Pass has a season-long 20% XP boost to help you race through the levels more quickly.
The absolute fastest way to max out the Battle Pass and fully unlock the Ana Mythic skin immediately is to buy tiers. It costs 200 Overwatch Coins to advance one level. Premium Battle Pass holders unlock level 1 immediately. Unlocking another 79 levels right away will cost another 15,800 Coins — that will cost around $158 on top of the $10 for the premium Battle Pass.
