Microsoft has rolled out a Season 10 Perks Bundle bonus for Overwatch 2 fans with an Xbox GamePass Ultimate bundle. Unfortunately, it's not necessarily clear how to redeem it, so if you're struggling, here's how to get the bundle.
Interestingly, fan reaction to the bundle announcement has gone down poorly on some parts of social media, with comments along the lines of, "So I paid for these skins for nothing basically" and "I'm never buying a shop skin ever again." Conversely, those who didn't purchase them before are excited at the great deal (as you'd expect).
How to redeem the Overwatch 2 Season 10 Perks Bundle on PC and Xbox
Redeeming your code for the Season 10 Perks Bundle will work differently depending which platform you're on. Let's get started with Xbox first.
Xbox
This should be straightforward. Simply login on your console and scroll down the left menu and click Game Pass. Next, check the Perks section of GamePass (it should be second row from the top) and locate the bundle. Hit that Claim button and boot up the game and it should be good to go. (Remember, you'll need GamePass Ultimate, not the regular version.)

PC
Here's where things get tricky. Though I have GamePass Ultimate on PC, I am only able to redeem my code through the Windows Store (after clicking the 'Overwatch 2' card in the image above in the Xbox app on PC), and doing so has no effect on my Overwatch 2 cosmetics, even if I have my Battle.net account linked to my Xbox account.
User reports indicate you can get access to the content on PC by logging in to your Xbox account on console, after which it will show up on PC. Unfortunately for me, I am Xbox-less, and therefore, skin-less. If you have an Xbox or a friend with one though, it should be easy enough to sign up with an account there to get going.
How much do the Overwatch 2 Season 10 Perks Bundle skins cost?
If you're stuck on PC without these skins and wondering if they're worth it or just wondering how much you're saving by redeeming your perks code, the Widowmaker Medusa and Junkerqueen Executioner skins run 1900 Overwatch Coins each (about $15 USD), while the Kiriko Visual Kei skin runs 1000 Overwatch Coins (about $10 USD). Not a bad deal at all for $40 worth of skins, as you're either subscribed to GamePass Ultimate anyway, or can likely take advantage of a $1 first month sign-up.
