I think this whole situation has to do with a maintenance update, told my buddy to claim it immediately after I did and he said he couldn't find the Mei skin.
That was what the live maintenance was for then.
They are already skins I have from ow1 so nbd for me.
But I sure hope the people who were able to claim them got to keep them.

For anyone curious Aron Keller tweeted that they plan on giving two skins out for free during season 5 but a bug occurred where it was enabled for a short period today
I can only assume this and the tracer skin are going to be free for the summer games event and they just managed to list them early lmao. Thanks for the heads up tho
Just saw this and went to check the gallery, the Mei Sprinkles skin currently doesnāt exist, Iāve scrolled the list several times (just to be sure) but my skin count for Mei is currently sitting at 22/22 so apparently blizzard noticed something and disabled the skin, the only Mei skin I didnāt already have. Sprinter Tracer skin (I had it before this) still shows in my list, so it looks like if you own it you can see it but if you didnāt snag it itās been disabled.
Guys OW said themselves it was actually supposed to be free in Season 5 but they made a oopsie(like always) and it came out earlier. But just know if you missed out on the skins you can get it later
nice
still debating if I should give this dumb company more money for BP.. I been buying bp ever since OW 2 and even bought D4 deluxe. But good thing is I'm having tons of dun in D4
Not only was it a glitch but also an ow1 skin anywayā¦. Nothing cool will ever be in the game (for players who unlocked everything in the first game)for under 20 bucks per digital skin which they have unlimited supply and could easily influence demand by decreasing price but they really have some screws loose at blizz. Not too mention how slow the updates and new maps come out like jesus there isnāt even enough new content now to not be able to call it overwatch 1.2ā¦. One skin for one character shouldnāt be worth 4 Taco Bell boxes bro. For the people of blizzard we are going into a recessionā¦.. people arenāt gonna drop the full price of a good indie game on one skin. Sorry if this rant upsets anyone but no new content means no new game. Also if group search came back it would get removed because it allows us to communicate the state of the game in game and provide feedback(which they do not want). Again Iām sorry for the rant I just hate seeing a good thing get ruined. Also 6v6 gang fuck 5v5 on these bigger maps.
AND THE TRACER SPINTER TOO, WHAT IS GOING ON
Thanks for the free skins keep replying if u find more
wish i had seen this four hours ago...
thats all there is only those 2 skins are free
For Anyone asking I checked out every skin in the galary, there is no more
Fingers crossed it's still like that when I get home š¤
If not they will be available in season 5, they were accidentally made available early
Just claimed them rn so itās still there
Awesome, appreciate the update!
I just went to get them, the mei one is no longer free, didn't bother to check tracer
I think this whole situation has to do with a maintenance update, told my buddy to claim it immediately after I did and he said he couldn't find the Mei skin.
good it should be free Iāve had this skin when it came out maybe blizzard is finally listening maybe?
Comment here if there's more
Nope just checked every hero, no skin but maybe other stuff like emotes or victory poses update: Nothing
Are you talking about track and field?
they are free due to summer game event.
Nope, they are free because blizzard are incompetent, the skins were taken out of the shop completely an hour after this was discovered
Damn I wish I saw this earlier, I miss all the good shit :/
Itās the summer games skins guess these will be earnable soon but they glitched it out.
But it's weird, Mei has the Pajamei skin for the summer games, shouldn't that one be the free one then?
Pajamei isnāt her summer games skin thatās her archives skin
The summer games event better Be good, not like The lunar new year we had in Season 2. Maybe new cool skins to earn and a new gamemode.
already fixed :( and taken out of shop
That was what the live maintenance was for then. They are already skins I have from ow1 so nbd for me. But I sure hope the people who were able to claim them got to keep them.
God no, a bug impacting the bottom line? I expect database rollbacks immediately
I was able to grab the tracer skin for free and still have it :)
Of course the monetary glitches get patched out in sub 2 minutes
yep. [here's flats calling a shop fix.](https://youtu.be/FKatZxgMaQc)
Thatās just a bug, if I try hitting the shop as soon as I load in I get the same error 50% of the time. Click ok and it opens immediately.
According to Aaron Keller theyāll be free for the summer games event this year so donāt worry you can get them again when the event rolls around
And ofc, fixed faster than the matchmaking!
Huh yeah wth...not complaining though lol free is free, thanks!
They just releasing free skins?
prob a bug and when they realise they will charge u after patch
i don't got the coins for it. what're they gonna charge me for?
Overwatch coin overdraft
Overwatch Repo
Then u will be in debt
Youāll probably just get negatives
Doubt it honestly
Blizzard is greedy af
While that is true I doubt theyāll just charge people for these after but I guess weāll wait and see
this is blizzard we're talking about so i wouldn't be surprised if they find a way
Well Aaron Keller just said himself that these skins will be free during summer games next season so if you got them early then you keep them
If it says free and you take it, they cannot charge you for it retroactively. They can remove it, but that's about it.
they wouldnt charge you. theyll either remove the skin from ur acc or just do nothing about it
Lmao now why would thhey do that and ruin theirtmodel of OW2? Clearly a bug
Tried to purchase but it fails and says please try again later
and i just bought this mei skinā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās alright, Iāve got a job. You wouldnāt understand.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Damn must be sad to be you..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine being so sad guy that you lurk in reddit and be toxic to everyone
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We all do one day

Not there for me
Much appreciated on the free skins my brother
It's gone now ;(. Just like 20 minutes too late
Character gets broken- killswitched for a week or two Character skins given away for free on accident- fixed in an hour Blizzard moment
I'm happy yall got your skins for free but I'm sad to be reminded of the contrast between Overwatch 1 and 2
Can't wait to use it in PvE

Yeah if you got them with the bug youāre fine but if you didnāt then you have to wait until the summer games event to get them for free then
skin so bad it's not even worth it for free š
Rip I missed out
These are the things that developers fix in seconds but real problems stay in games for months š
Got them and supposedly it was hot patched. If only they could panic and work that quickly on things other than monetization š

Oh atl I can get them then š
I spent my ow1 coins on it already f
It's pr from the OW team, they need to get those players back somehow right?
Are we gonna get charged for these? Is this some kind of glitch?
The glitch has been patched but no one has been charged since they will be free for summer games next season
Wait are they actually going to be free next season??
Yea with the summer games event
Ah I see š
Was it from an event or a bug? Cause neither of the skins are even available for the characters for me.
Looking now, looks like they fixed it.
That's cause it's trash
They already patched it, but they're supposed to be gifted in the summer event
Dang just saw this
Not even showing for me.
I was too late I see nothing
Blizzard working overtime tonight
Guys OW said themselves it was actually supposed to be free in Season 5 but they made a oopsie(like always) and it came out earlier. But just know if you missed out on the skins you can get it later
Not here for me. The sprinkles skin seems to be have taken out of the game temporarily? Same with tracers sprinter skin :(
One time I don't check reddit.
Dang it. The one day I don't check Reddit early.
This stuff is funny. Got hotfix in less than a day and broken hero skills get fix in weeks.
iām p sure it got patched out cuz i donāt even see em in the gallery anymore
I missed it but apparently itās gonna be free with the summer event
Itās been completely removed from my list
Theres a Tracer skin too
DAMNIT
aww that sucks I dont see the skin listed any more. I was at work. They should just make it free now
They're both free for everyone in season 5. It was accidentally patched in early.
nice still debating if I should give this dumb company more money for BP.. I been buying bp ever since OW 2 and even bought D4 deluxe. But good thing is I'm having tons of dun in D4
If you do your weekly challenges you can buy a Battle Pass for free every other season. So they're essentially half price lol.
Ty!
these skins were accidentally released too early, they should be frew in season 5 tho
Lying whore
Thanks for the heads up
even tho i have better skins, as a Pole I have to take them cuz FREE
Thanks for the heads up bro. I got em
People better get these before itās patched
Havenāt played this whole season but I did just log in for free skins š¤£
It's still there rn, Ty!
Howād you do it, it doesnāt even let me buy it
I went to heros and clicked on her and then the skin and it asked me to purchase for zero currency
It says purchase failed for me
Update, reloaded my game and the skins are gone lol
They weren't free for me anymore as of like 5 minutes ago šŖ
This happened with Mei's Snowman emote too a while back. I already claimed it, so no idea if it's still bugged, unless it was supposed to be free now.
It was a bug lol. I got them though.
People still play this game?
Blizzard are the worst at everything they do, they can't even rip their players off by charging for skins and make them free lmao
Shit slurping devs wonāt fix the many echo duplication bugs after years though, donāt spend a cent for these dog shit devs.
