The Origins Edition is priced higher than the regular version, but it's currently discounted to $49.99 compared to the standard game's $39.99. Whether it's worth the extra $10 depends on your preferences and what you value in the game.
Do you think $10 is significant? If not, check out the origins because it includes exclusive skins.
In Overwatch, the Origins edition offers only a handful of skins, which I personally don't find impressive when compared to the more appealing options available with in-game currency or loot boxes. The Tracer skin is decent, but the rest seem average. You still receive other rewards from Blizzard's other games, so if you enjoy those titles and the associated skins, it might be worth the additional cost.
You can purchase the standard version and then upgrade to Origins for a price difference. I should verify that discount still works—checked, and it does lower the cost at checkout. It’s unclear how long the $50 reduction will last, but you can try the base game first. Look at the skins in the hero profile to decide if upgrading makes sense.
I selected the regular edition of the game. The Origins version and its upgrade are available until the 15th. If I need an upgrade sooner, I can do it.
Overwatch is usually a game where you end up playing most of the heroes. You might not be great at sniping or using Widowmaker much, but everyone else is really enjoyable and you should change who you play with depending on your team and the enemies. Check out the skins available. If you love their appearance, go for the Origin version; otherwise, the standard edition works just fine.
