If you maintain some hope of wowing audiences worldwide with your skills at playing Overwatch, we’re sad to inform you that playing the game is still not considered an Olympic event. You can, however, get some of the spirit of the event with an upcoming special item pack. The pack was presaged by teaser packages sent to various YouTube and Twitch streamers showing off new character outfits for Track & Field Tracer, Weightlifting Zarya, and Football Lucio.
A listing for Summer Games loot boxes was found afterwards on the PlayStation Store, confirming new sprays for everyone as well as the special skins. The packs in question appear to only contain one definite Summer Games item, and the items in question do not appear to be buyable via in-game credits. No word on when the packs will be rolled out, although it’s a safe bet that we’ll see them around the same time as the actual Olympics (August 5th through August 21st); the listing on the PlayStation store seems to confirm the packs will only be purchasable until August 22nd.
