Overwatch update 3.11 is now live across all platforms and it brings everything you need to celebrate the anniversary event of the game.

May 24th marks the official release date of Overwatch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC back in 2016. A Blizzard multiplayer first-person experience that won the Best Game award in The Game Awards 2016 ceremony.

Overwatch was surely one of the game-changer multiplayer titles of the last generation of consoles, which has already made its way to the new consoles as well and will continue its legacy with Overwatch 2.

That said, we are still a long way from Overwatch 2. So, let's just stick to the original entry for now and see what the new update has brought to the game.
