class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Summer skins can be obtained in Overwatch 2 in a few different ways. Most can be purchased by heading over to the hero menu and selecting the character whose skin you want. Once there, you can unlock them for Overwatch coins or credits by scrolling down and selecting your desired skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-689caf38ba8ec\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Not all of the summer skins are available in the hero menu, though. Some are available on a rotating basis from the in-game shop, so you can only access them once they make an appearance there. Others are locked completely at the time of writing, but this doesn\u2019t mean they are gone for good. It just means that they are a bit rarer and probably won\u2019t be as easy to obtain as some of the other Overwatch 2 skins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-689caf38baf86\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>A couple of the summer-themed skins were battlepass exclusives from previous seasons, so they are also rare cosmetics that won\u2019t be available again for a while. Loot boxes can also be used to collect summer skins in Overwatch 2, but it\u2019s very much a luck of the draw system, so it\u2019s not the most reliable method to use if summer skins are what you are interested in most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-689caf38bb5eb\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"top_10_overwatch_2_summer_skins_ranked-2\">Top 10 Overwatch 2 summer skins ranked<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Four colorful, summer-themed Overwatch 2 characters with playful outfits, showcasing beach accessories and relaxed, fun poses.\" class=\"wp-image-198000 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.ballpeenhammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Top-10-Overwatch-2-summer-skins-ranked-large.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The following skins are currently the best of the best summer skins that Overwatch 2 has to offer \/ Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-689caf38bbd16\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Here are our picks for the best summer Overwatch 2 skins as of July 2025.
