We’ve been waiting since Sigma’s Mozart event and now Summer Games have officially kicked off on Overwatch. We have some new skins, emotes, and victory poses, plus a new twist on the SG classic Lucio Ball.
Check it out:
The Overwatch Summer Games are back! ☀️
Grab your beach ball and join the fun in Overwatch Summer Games 2020. Earn new summery rewards like Sand Castle Bastion (Epic) & Surf’s Up Echo (Legendary) and return to the field in Lúcioball Remix.
Lúcioball, our futuristic spin on soccer, is back with a new twist. We’ve done some construction work on our Busan and Sydney arenas, and we’re kicking a curveball your way with Lúcioball Remix! In this faster, more chaotic version of Lúcioball, two balls are in play and bonus balls worth extra points will periodically spawn around the arena.
I have to say, with the scarcity of skins with previous events, we have a lot more Legendary looks coming this year. You have to love the beach looks for Echo, Pharah, and Baptiste, and we Brigitte looks great in her Feskarn look.
While we have a lot of new skins though, other cosmetics are pretty scarce. We only have one new Warm Up emote for Tracer, and two highlight intros for Ana and Ashe. On the bright side, we do get access to other Summer Games exclusive skins, so we still have those to look forward to.

Summer Games 2020 is now live for Overwatch and the event ends on Aug. 25. Overwatch is playable on Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
