Why Do I Have Kiriko Free?
If you’re an Overwatch fan, you might be wondering why you have Kiriko, the new support hero, unlocked and ready to play. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons behind Kiriko’s availability and provide some tips on how to make the most of her abilities.
Direct Answer: Kiriko is Free for Overwatch 1 Owners
For Founders Pack Owners: If you owned Overwatch 1 and purchased the Founder’s Pack, you already have Kiriko unlocked and ready to play. This is because the Founder’s Pack included a bonus hero, and Kiriko is that hero.
For Battle Pass Owners: If you purchased the Battle Pass in Overwatch 2, you can unlock Kiriko by reaching level 55. This requires completing various challenges and playing the game regularly.

- Use her shields: Kiriko’s shields can protect your teammates from damage and provide a temporary barrier against enemy attacks.
- Use her ultimate ability: Kiriko’s ultimate ability, "Kitsune Rush," can heal your entire team and provide a significant amount of shields.
How Long Until Kiriko is in Competitive?
- Two weeks: Kiriko will be available in Competitive mode two weeks after the release of Overwatch 2.
Why Can I Still Play Kiriko?
- Locked out of Competitive: If it appears that Kiriko is still locked, it’s probably because she is locked out of Competitive mode for two weeks. However, you can still play her in other game modes.
How to Grind for Kiriko’s Cosmetics
- Unlock all cosmetics: Unlocking all of Kiriko’s cosmetics will take around five years of playtime.
