Overwatch Goes for the Gold with New Olympics Update

With the Rio OIympics just around the corner, Blizzard has announced on the US PlayStation Blog a new set of Summer Games content for Overwatch, lasting until 22nd August. Loot Boxes now have a new lick of Summer Games paint, and each box guarantees at least one limited edition Olympics-themed cosmetic item (of which there are over 100). These items aren't available to buy with credits, either, so get playing if you want the chance of getting a Legendary.

A new game mode, Lucioball, has also been added – a sort of Rocket League-lite, in which teams of three Lucios play a variation of football in which you can punch, pull, and sound blast the ball in order to get it in the goal.

Will you be playing Overwatch over the course of the Games, or will you be too busy watching them? Try not to dope your Hero in the comments below.
