You don't just have to play to earn, though. You can also watch Twitch streamers between matches or even during them to unlock additional Bastet-themed cosmetics. A few select content creators from around the world will be bringing special Twitch Drops showing off memorable moments from the "Bastet" short story. You can watch them while they're playing Overwatch to earn five of Ana's Bastet Challenge sprays.

If you didn't already check out the "Bastet" story, it's an important new piece of lore that establishes Ana's past and also introduces an interesting tidbit about Soldier: 76 – he's been confirmed as gay and was in fact in a relationship with a man named Vincent years ago.

Additionally, hero skins for the Atlanta Reign, Chengdu Hunters, Guangzhou Charge, Hangzhou Spark, Paris Eternal, Toronto Defiant, Vancouver Titans and Washington Justice are up for grabs on all platforms. Every skin can be purchased for 100 OWL tokens and comes with home and away versions for each character.
