Overwatch 2 2025 Valentine’s Day event: All challenges & rewards

Overwatch 2’s Valentine’s Day event is now live in the game, offering new missions as well as free cosmetic rewards players can obtain.

Valentine’s Day is still over a week away, but Overwatch 2 players can already celebrate the special occasion early with a new in-game event fitting to the theme. 

In addition to adding new skins to the shop, devs have also introduced plenty of new missions that players can participate in.

Completing these will allow you to earn free rewards in the game, something you wouldn’t want to miss out on while they’re still available. We’ve compiled everything you need to know about the Valentine’s Day event in 2025.

Overwatch 2 Valentine’s Day 2025 event schedule

This year’s Valentine’s event will be available from February 4 until February 18, 2025. It’s unclear whether the Loverwatch dating sim will return during this time, but players could still snatch free love-themed rewards from the event.

Love of Geometry game mode

Various game modes are occasionally brought back into the game. In the case of the Valentine’s event, players can take part in the returning Love of Geometry mode. 

In this Team PvP deathmatch, players are pitted against others in teams of four—but the catch is that everyone will be playing as Cupid Hanzo. 

Additionally, the Scatter Arrow ability is back, which means that you can hit some really lucky shots even if the enemy isn’t in your LOS.

Similar to a regular deathmatch, the more enemies you kill, the more points you’ll rack up. In the end, whoever secures 50 kills first will win.

All Valentine’s Day event challenges & rewards

If you’re looking to level up your Battle Pass quickly and get some free cosmetics, you’ll want to complete the new challenges added to the event.

Getting these done will not only reward you with XP, but you’ll also be able to get a Pachilove name card, among other rewards. Here’s a list of all of them.
