Unlocking heroes in Overwatch 2 can be obtained by simply playing through the game. The game does not require you to spend real money to get heroes, but you can unlock certain characters faster if available.

A character like Kiriko can be obtained naturally, but you can unlock her instantly by purchasing the battle pass. Additionally, buying the Watchpoint Pack will automatically unlock all the characters for you.
