The game was initially launched with casual play, with a competitive ranked mode, various ‘arcade’ game modes, and a player-customizable server browser subsequently included following its release.If you haven't had a chance to join the fight for the future yet on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, then get ready for the perfect tactical opportunity. Players gain cosmetic rewards that do not affect gameplay, such as character skins and victory poses, as they play the game. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time. Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting from a roster of over 20 characters, known in-game as «heroes», each with a unique style of play, whose roles are divided into four general categories: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support.

Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game.
