Winston’s Beach Volleyball is here and now’s the time to grab your teammates and get your servers prepared. Players can spike, swing, and fly around in Estádio Dos Gorilas during Overwatch 2’s Summer event.
During season five, which started on June 13, Overwatch 2 finally hosted its first annual Summer Games event. A staple of the Overwatch content calendar since its inaugural kick-off in 2016, the Summer Games festivities were notoriously skipped in 2022 as Blizzard looked to allocate more time and attention to PvP betas for the current sequel.
As such, with the Summer Games back on track to return for the first time in two years, it seems Blizzard is looking to make up for lost time with another sports-inspired mode. Here’s how the Lúcioball rival works in Overwatch 2.
How does Winston’s Beach Volleyball work in Overwatch 2?
Winston’s Beach Volleyball is a three-vs-three affair. By way of running, jumping, and spiking, players can score by simply knocking the giant volleyball down on the sand of their opponent’s side. Get the points required, and you’ll be the victor. Simple as that. Just make sure you don’t let the ball hit the ground on your side.
Winston’s Beach Volleyball is available to play in Overwatch 2 with the launch of the Summer Games 2023 event, which started on Tuesday, July 11.
