Loot Boxes were a feature of Overwatch. They were removed in Overwatch 2.[1] Any unopened loot boxes from the original game were automatically opened in players' accounts when logging into Overwatch 2.[2]
In Overwatch 2, the battle pass system is the closest equivalent.

Overview[ | ]
One Loot Box was received for every level gained.
Each Loot Box contained four random items, with at least one rare or better item. The contents of a Loot Box were determined when the Loot Box was received, not when it was opened.[3] If a Loot Box contains a duplicate cosmetic that the player already owns, they will instead receive credits.
To open a Loot Box, one could either navigate to the main menu and click the "Loot Box" option, or bring up the pause menu and click the "Open Loot Box" button. While opening a Loot Box, players could preview and equip the contents.
Loot Boxes and their contents were entirely cosmetic, and did not give any gameplay advantages.
The drop rates of Loot Boxes content were as follows: A Rare item or above was included in every box.An Epic item was included in about 18.5% of all boxes.A Legendary item was included in about 7.5% of all boxes.A Rare Victory Pose was included in about 23% of all boxes.A Rare Skin was included in about 30% of all boxes.A Rare Player Icon was included about 48% of all boxes.[4]

Seasonal Loot Boxes[ | ]
For the duration of a seasonal event, regular Loot Boxes were changed to special event themed Loot Boxes. Each of these seasonal Loot Boxes were guaranteed to contain at least one event-exclusive cosmetic item. Seasonal Loot Boxes that had already been purchased and unopened remained seasonal Loot Boxes even after the event had ended.
