Besides Christmas, I love summer events in games. Because I live in the frigid wastes of Tasmania, I am often in the chilliest time of year when games deploy a cornucopia of warm, sunny vistas for me to enjoy.
And each year, Overwatch does not disappoint. Overwatch 2 has rolled out its Summer Games event – and I can already feel the sand between my toes.

Every year we get to enjoy the chaotic fun of Lúcioball – but a new sporty offering has appeared this year, with a Winston Volleyball game mode joining the roster. I’d go into detail, but it’s literally volleyball – I am not sure what more needs to be said.
There is also a slew of challenges and freebie exp to gobble up by completing them – providing a monstrous boost to your Battle Pass – but the real reward is not just the friends we made along the way, but a summer-y Doomfist skin that is charmingly dorky. Seriously, shades and a straw trilby? My guy is ready to dominate the pool.
Jump in game and enjoy the sandy festivities while you can – if it can warm my bones, I am sure it can bring a smile to your dial.
Are you a pro at Lúcioball? Let us know in the comments or on social media.
Known throughout the interwebs simply as M0D3Rn, Ash is bad at video games. An old guard gamer who suffers from being generally opinionated, it comes as no surprise that he is both brutally loyal and yet, fiercely whimsical about all things electronic. On occasion will make a youtube video that actually gets views.
