During a Reddit AMA, the authors Overwatch 2 explained new details on how it works and how it works relocation of credits your first game in the second part. Also, they confirmed loot box those already obtained will be automatically unlocked before the transition.
It was said unequivocally: “We will share one explanation More details on all these issues before Overwatch releases on October 2. However, to give you a quick answer, the available currencies (credits, OWL Tokens, and Competitive Points) will be brought with you to Overwatch 2. it will open automatically and your account will get all the content directly. Overwatch 1 credits will carry with you to Overwatch 2, but our new virtual currency will be the primary currency and Overwatch 2 will have things that cannot be bought with Overwatch 1 credits.”
The idea is that Overwatch 2 economy system will change, so it may be a better idea to take advantage of what you have in the first chapter before the transition. But as mentioned, we’ll have more precise information later: Blizzard will likely explain in detail what legacy currencies can do in the new game to prevent users from finding themselves with in-game credits that aren’t being used for no purpose.
All this is important because Overwatch 2 will replace the original game at release: there will be no way to continue playing with the first episode from October.
