Overwatch Social Features Like Group Play And Endorsements Now Live
Earlier this month, Blizzard announced a number of changes to Overwatch's player-to-player interaction model in hopes of encouraging a better community through positive reinforcement. These additions included the ability to group play with preset roles you want in your group, as well as the ability to endorse players who did a particularly good job and promoted a healthy interaction.
Blizzard has now finally gone live with these changes, announced today via Twitter.
Find your dream teammates!

The new update also includes Symmetra's rework, which has been testing on the PTR server for a number of weeks, as well as a rework of the Lunar Horizon Colony map.
This feature patch comes amidst some teasing for new Overwatch content, which is still mysterious outside of knowing it involves something rolling through. The new feature patch is live on all platforms for the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
