The Overwatch 2 Summer Games event will be held from July 9 to July 30, 2024, featuring two game modes: Winston's Beach Volleyball and Lucioball.

The Overwatch 2 Summer Games event is going to take place from July 9, 2024, until July 30, 2024. During that, special challenges will be available to OW2 players for free rewards upon completion.

This event will be featured with two game modes: Winston's Beach Volleyball and Lucioball. Also, Activision Blizzard introduced a Lucioball Remix version. This is a version of the game that, while still 4v4 Lucioball, will periodically spawn different balls during the course of the match. 

Goals scored do not have replays. Golden-colored bonus balls are worth three points if scored. The game ends when the countdown expires or one team is ahead by 20 points.


Winston's Beach Volleyball

In Winston's Beach Volleyball, two teams with three players each are trying to score ten points toward victory. That is achieved by hitting a volleyball onto opponents' halves using melee attacks. 

Once the Ultimate charge reaches 100%, if activated, it boosts speed and hitting power. The heroes available for this mode include D.Va, Winston, Ashe, Cassidy, Echo, Genji, Hanzo, Junkrat, Pharah, Soldier: 76, Sombra, Symmetra, Widowmaker, and Baptiste.

Lucioball

Lucioball is a game of soccer where heroes, using Lucio's abilities, control a giant ball to slam it into the opponent's goal. Matches are run on the Estádio Das Ras, Sydney Harbour Arena, or Busan Stadium maps, competing teams racing to rack up the most goals until the clock expires.
