The latest update for Overwatch brings with it not only celebratory events in the way of Anniversary 2019 festivities, but also brings with it the highly anticipated new creation suite: the Overwatch Workshop.
The Workshop finally comes to Xbox One and PS4 along with PC after a stint on PC, and with it comes a complex and powerful new way to create, share, and battle it out in Overwatch.
The Anniversary 2019 event also comes with a stack of new skins, along with a host of some of the more popular modes from past Overwatch events, rotating through the game’s Arcade browser daily.
Check out the full Overwatch patch notes below.
OVERWATCH MAY 21 PATCH NOTES
WORKSHOP FEATURES: “We’re excited to share a new in-game feature called the Workshop! The Workshop greatly expands the game customization features available in the Game Browser by providing a simplified game scripting system. Enhance the Overwatch game modes you know and love with new game rules, new victory conditions, adjustments to the hero movement and abilities, and much more. Once you’ve designed an awesome new game mode, create a code to share it with your friends or the whole community!
“We’re excited to see what you come up with! Note that Workshop is a complex feature that we’re still iterating on, so we may need to adjust or turn it off as we work to improve it.”
