New Overwatch short: Infiltration


Introducing Sombra


Stealth and debilitating attacks make Sombra a powerful infiltrator. Her hacking can disrupt her enemies, ensuring they're easier to take out, while her EMP provides the upper hand against multiple foes at once. Sombra’s ability to Translocate and camouflage herself makes her a hard target to pin down.

The "High Bandwidth" option previously only available in custom games is now being implemented in all Overwatch play modes, including Quickplay and Competitive.

The effect of this is that the games server-to-client update rate has changed from 21 to 63 updates per second. (client-to-server update rate was already at 63/sec).

This will hopefully result in more responsive feeling and accurate gameplay.
