After downloading the 1.5GB Overwatch update released today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, you’ll be able to access all of the festivities wrapped in the Winter Wonderland event, which runs until January 2, 2017.
With Overwatch’s Winter Wonderland, you’ll find holiday-themed loot boxes with over 100 new cosmetic items, the 6v6 Mei’s Snowball Offensive, and the halls of Hanamura and King?s Row have been decked out. Here’s what Blizzard says about the new items and Mei’s Snowball Offensive:
Cosmetic Items
Starting today, all in-game Loot Boxes have been replaced with our impeccably wrapped Winter Loot Boxes, and they?re filled to the brim with over 100 new cosmetic trimmings!
As with previous events, Winter Loot Boxes can be earned or purchased, and each will contain at least one item from our 2016 Winter Wonderland collection – including profile icons, sprays, victory poses, emotes, highlight intros, skins, and more! While the contents of each seasonal Loot Box are random, you can unlock a variety of these cordial customization options in the Hero Gallery throughout the event?s duration. Once you’ve unlocked an item, it will be yours forever, which means you can get into holly jolly hijinks all year-round. The collection will be dashing back into the vault on January 2, however (when the event concludes), so be sure to fire up your favorite gaming machine and celebrate before it?s too late!
