Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game. It was released in May 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting one of 24 characters with different abilities whose roles are divided into four categories: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map and escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time.
