Overwatch celebrates the Summer Olympics with new skins and a new mode

Overwatch might be poised to be the next big esport, but its newest update actually celebrates a real sporting event.

Blizzard’s hit team-based shooteris celebrating the Summer Olympics in Rio (which opens Friday) with a seasonal event that runs from now until August 22, called Summer Games. During the event, all loot boxes (which you can purchase or earn by leveling up your account through playing) will include at least one Summer Games-themed item, which includes over 100 new cosmetic items. This includes new skins for Tracer, McCree, Lucio, Zarya, and more. Special events and new items can keep players engaged. The fact that these skins are only available for a limited time could also encourage players to spend real money for a chance to unlock them before they disappear.
