Overwatch League All-Access Pass Adds POV for VIPs


Blizzard is giving an upgrade to its Overwatch League offerings, announcing with Twitch that the Overwatch League All-Access Pass for the 2019 season will now include an enhanced Command Center that enables extensive viewing options including the first-person point of view from any in-game player.

“Our approach to this season’s Overwatch League All-Access Pass was to work with Blizzard to create the ultimate superfan experience based on community feedback from last season,” said Matt McCloskey, VP Commerce, Twitch. “Since the biggest request was more personal ways to view all the Overwatch League action, we’ve overhauled the Command Center for an evolved Twitch viewer experience. This includes letting fans choose the main view from any competitor at any time, as well as choosing from a wide range of viewing templates, such as overhead maps among other options. Not only is the camera versatility groundbreaking for Overwatch League, it will change the way people want to watch esports for years to come.”

In addition, the package also offers perks such as 200 Overwatch League Tokens, ad-free viewing, a discount on Overwatch League merchandise, reward incentives, new prize-driven challenges throughout the season, and more for the $14.99 price point.

“The Overwatch League is going to be even bigger and better for 2019, and so is the Overwatch League Twitch All-Access Pass,” said Overwatch League Commissioner Nate Nanzer. “We had some great feedback from our community in 2018 and I’m particularly excited that All-Access Passholders will be able to watch however they choose with the new and improved Command Center. The Overwatch League All-Access Pass is packed with value and new features that fans worldwide are sure to love.”

The season begins on February 14.
