Overwatch Summer Games prizes include national and athletic cosmetics, such as Tracer’s track jersey and McCree’s American Flag poncho. There’s plenty to collect for each character, but you’d better hurry. Overwatch Summer Games prizes are yours to keep once you collect them, but at the end of the season on Aug. 22, the collection will be heading back into the vault. “So, if you’ve got your eye on something specific, there’s no time to lose!”
This is Overwatch’s first ever seasonal content update, but it is by no means the last. As Blizzard said, “This is our very first seasonal event in Overwatch, but there are more on the horizon. We’re not quite ready to reveal our plans, but you can expect to see more festive Loot Box items, maps, and modes in the future.”
Overwatch Summer Games is live now for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
