Overwatch, the multiplayer-only game by Blizzard, just received a small update yesterday. While the update is mostly focused on bug fixes, it brings the Summer Games 2021 Event to the game. Play the event to get several exclusive skins like Poolside Ashe, Sprinkles Mei, and Mermaid Symmetra. You can also unlock skins from previous year’s Summer Games. More information is available on the official site.

The June 20 Update makes one minor change to Baptiste. His Immortality Field looks similar to a Disco Ball now. As mentioned, several bugs have been fixed, such as the bug where console players can’t report players using BattleTags, and the problem with the text chat scroll bar.

We have mentioned the rest of the changes below.
