Overwatch 2 is a sequel to the iconic shooter, in which we take on the role of one of the characters and fight against other players in various arenas. The game recently debuted on Steam and it turns out that many players are having problems with the fact that the DLC for Overwatch 2 doesn't work. The issue was addressed by Blizzard. You will learn more about it from the text below.

DLC for Overwatch 2 not working on Steam

In threads on Reddit or the Steam forum, posts from disgusted players are appearing in increasing numbers, reporting that the DLC for Overwatch 2 is not working. This is a very unpleasant situation, because despite having spent money, they do not receive additional content.

"Anyone else having this issue? Bought it on steam and I still haven't received missions or the 1000 credits," asks scaadbaby

"You aren't sailing on that boat alone buddy. Switched to Steam since i love buying stuff over Steam and im experiencing the same issue as well," confirms Shinaii

It's also worth noting the DLC for Overwatch 2 as well as the base game itself has been receiving a lot of negative reviews on Steam recently. Currently the title has an Overwhelmingly Negative rating with only 14% of all positive reviews..

Waiting for developments

If you have a similar problem, know that you are not alone. The issue has been addressed by Blizzard, which on its forum published a post that reads:

"There is sadly an issue with the steam version of Overwatch 2 where DLC bought from the store front is not applied in game. Most of the DLCs for OW2 on steam are getting negative reviews due to players not receiving the content in game. Hopefully this problem gets addressed soon. Would not be surprised if it is just a silly oversight though. Also on a side note, if it turns out to be just a delay on steam’s end then I will update the thread to discus that."

So it looks like you just have to wait until the problem is fixed.
