** One of the more widely received tracks in the game belongs to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYG_Mo9_LFE Busan]]. An energetic and funky track that merges both the traditional wind and strings with modern beats, demonstrating how much of South Korea is so emblematic in pop culture and yet stays true to its roots.
** Among the more iconic new themes that have been composed for Overwatch 2 is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW8G6WM70Cc Midtown]]. Its theme being a soothing hip-hop inspired track that truly does not fail in representing the bustling and diverse streets of New York with its beats and piano instrumentation.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKSRO13rzCY Paraíso]] is an incredibly energetic track that combines the traditional percussion and guiro instrument of Brazil with synths that befit the lively favela of Lucio's hometown.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ut3_SirrAw Circuit Royal]] is an incredibly triumphant-sounding techno-inspired track that wonderfully represents the sprawling but lavish city of Monte Carlo and its exhilarating car races, its more ''SpyFiction'' elements representing its casinos and the fact that this is the home base of the shifty business dealer Maximilien, a Talon executive.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0UE_xiMv68 Overtime 3]], despite its NonindicativeName (said music only plays before a round starts), really helps set the mood for an imminent battle of epic proportions.
** Overwatch 2 kicks it up a notch with its revamped take on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZipzqbYU8FY Rally the Heroes,]] with ominous percussion but triumphant brass leading to an epic and intense track that pumps you up for the impending battle.

* The heroic-sounding theme that plays during a Highlight/Play of the Game is suitably epic, despite only being about 10 or so seconds long. Thankfully, it's ''not'' a LongSongShortScene, as you get to hear it after ''every single match''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3s-wQoYJ1I Overwatch 2's variant]] has a lot more of a sinister tone to it, as if to represent a desperate play made by one of the team members to turn a match around, but still keeping the epic scale of the original theme.
* From the Uprising event, we have the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSMBL2sndLU main menu]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RewOiW-EYRk final battle]] themes, both invoking a sense of (strangely epic) dread for the Null Sector-torn King's Row. The latter can become very pumping during its segment when eliminating the OR-14 units, effectively the final boss of the mission.

* The score from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p56XUPetIAQ ''Dragons'']] is incredibly epic and lends size and weight to the conflict and reconciliation between the brothers.

* Overwatch 2 brings a slew of exciting new tracks to almost every corner of the game, to maps and menus, to the future PvE mode. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NsKwM92m8 title theme]] welcomes players, new and old alike, to a reborn Overwatch with its hopeful brass and optimistic synths invoking a longing sense of "You have made it to this point, despite the obstacles." - both in terms of the game and the canonical organisation.
** There is simply something magical about the new [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEiUn21goQs&t official theme of Overwatch 2.]] First starting with a quiet piano that stops suddenly with a hopeful chord, to strings and choir that slowly ramp up with brass joining mid-way, to a full-blown epic orchestra. Signifying the reformation of a band of heroes, new and old - Overwatch.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62_JnSLb4KI New Queen Street]] carries that original Overwatch spark of optimism, representing a city of unbound technological progress and human advancement and also being the home of retired Overwatch agent Vivian Chase aka Sojourn.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQu6gW9jrn0 Colosseo]] represents a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AncientRome long-lost era]] with its fantastical strings but booming bass and choir that signifies a new renaissance of the Italian city of Rome.

* The official theme of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJuhkDPjsHs Retribution]] contains a gritty guitar alongside ominous strings and trumpets, displaying the covert Blackwatch team's capabilities to fight their way out from the heart of Talon's Rialto base. But the second half of the track with the droning electronic sounds breaking into a crescendoing orchestral choir demonstrates that Blackwatch will have to give it their all as Talon sends all sorts of forces and agents to subdue them.

** While it didn't make it into the game itself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3xFKckFCGM the trailer music for the Eichenwalde map]] is just plain ''gorgeous,'' slowly building up from a [[LonelyPianoPiece gentle piano piece]] before exploding into grandiose orchestra, perfectly benefiting the map's epic yet melancholy atmosphere. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eEqWVN7JJ4 SharaX took this theme and turned it into an epic remix]] worthy of becoming Reinhardt's themesong, but she throws in a little ''VideoGame/UnderTale'' to pad it out as well.

* The score from ''Dragons'' is incredibly epic and lends size and weight to the conflict and reconciliation between the brothers.

* Although we only hear a [[LongSongShortScene few seconds]] of it in the short, ''Reunion'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdtx1nF-Ki0 "Pale Rider"]] by The Heavy Horses playing in the diner, a song that's totally badass and fits [=Cassidy=]'s personality almost perfectly.

* A meta example: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unXsheHLPao A Hero Never Dies]]", made by JT Machinima. Featuring rapped verses from the perspectives of Winston, Widowmaker, [=McCree=], Reaper, Bastion, and Tracer, it's very well-thought out and hilarious for fans. Its chorus ("Overwatch is back in town" / "If you're not a hero don't stick around") is also quite motivational considering the plot of Overwatch's return against Talon. Special props goes to their guest, South African/Australian singer Andrea Storm Kaden, who provided the voices of Widowmaker and Tracer in surprisingly good accents, and managed to avert PissTakeRap despite not normally being a rapper.

* From the Uprising event, we have the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSMBL2sndLU main menu]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RewOiW-EYRk final battle]] themes, both invoking a sense of (strangely epic) dread for the Null Sector-torn King's Row. The latter can become very pumping during it's segment when eliminating the OR-14 units, effectively the final boss of the mission.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb7-dBOnqrk The intro theme for Horizon Lunar Colony]] is truly awe-inspiring. The whole song embodies humanity's immense potential for innovation and discovery in the ''Overwatch'' universe.

The soundtracks of ''Creator/BlizzardEntertainment'' games never fail to impress, and ''Overwatch'' is no exception.

* Lúcio's tracks, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEuCcywh12Q "Rejuvenescência"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnJs_V4j1hs "We Move Together As One"]] are sweet progressive house tracks. They also got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk0Yj2JxKdk semi-orchestral remixes for]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juwHwhrT4jw his release in]] ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm.''
* The songs associated with each map are all amazing, but players still have their favorites:

** The Anniversary event's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vomdkt9c3ak main menu theme]]. The first few seconds sound heroic and very uplifting, while the rest of the theme has a strong "we've come a long way" feel to it, evoking a sense of nostalgia for long-time players.
