Overwatch 2 Summer Games Return, Featuring Lúcioball And Winston's Beach Volleyball

Care for some indoors fun in the sun?

The Overwatch 2 Summer Games are back in the hero shooter, featuring the return of Lúcioball and a new game mode called Winston's Beach Volleyball. Lúcioball, a sports-themed brawl, pits teams of Lúcio players against each other as they try to score goals. Whereas in Winston's Beach Volleyball, players engage in a 3v3 brawl, bouncing a giant volleyball to the opponent's side to score points.

The event also brings new skins and cosmetics, as well as sprays and player icons. Also, there's an Epic skin for Doomfist, and Mercy receives a Lifeguard Legendary skin. Players can earn rewards and XP by completing event challenges, and there's a special Player Icon for logging in during the event.

The Overwatch 2 Summer Games are live now and will run until July 24 and you can read the full event details on the official site.

Note: Activision Blizzard has been sued by California’s Civil Rights Department, alleging violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act and Equal Pay Act. CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about the alleged violations within his company. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.
