Save On Overwatch For Anniversary Event
Blizzard has announced some Overwatch savings for the game's anniversary event, including a deal on the Game of the Year edition if you already own the game.
The Game of the Year Edition is going for $39.99 (PC, PS4, and Xbox One) as a digital bundle, with the regular title priced at $29.99 and the chance for those who already own the title to upgrade to the Game of the Year Edition for $9.99. These savings end on June 5, 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
The Anniversary event itself, which features 100 commemorative loot box items, three new Arena maps (see the trailer below for more), and more, runs now through June 12.
