There"s no word on what this collaboration is going to be, nor when exactly it will be revealed. Our purely speculative guess is that you might be able to convert Microsoft Points for in-game Overwatch 2 in-game items and cosmetics, but we could be way off the mark,

The Overwatch Cavalry X account claims, via unnamed sources, that "Amazon has chosen not to renew several of their promotions." That apparently includes its previous Overwatch 2 skins. The post adds that the last of these skins will be the Constable Tracer. We will have to see if this teased Microsoft Rewards program for the game might replace this previous deal with Amazon.
