The PS Plus bundle image briefly showed that it included 20 Battle Pass level skips, although the text correctly said it only included five, but that has since been corrected.
Null Sector Orisa is a legendary skin that was originally part of the Overwatch Archives event in 2017. Not to be confused with the OR-Unit Mirrorwatch skin added in Overwatch 2 Season 10, Null Sector Orisa turns the hero into a mindless killing machine and appeared as an enemy during some Invasion PvE missions. Although the skin can be purchased from the Hero Gallery for 1,500 Overwatch Credits, getting it for free is a nice perk for those who haven't already done so.
