Many have complained that Overwatch feels incomplete, and the truth is that Bethesda has released a game with a lot of potential, but nothing more, since all it includes is a fun multiplayer mode. However, Overwatch's competitive mode arrives on PC today, much to the delight of PC gamers and the disappointment of console users , as the competitive version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be delayed by at least a year. Another year in which only PC users, Bethesda's primary target audience, will be able to enjoy it.
We remind you that Bethesda has been working on the competitive beta mode since last May, meaning it's been in development for almost two months. Although it was expected to launch on August 18th of this year , the official release date has passed, and it's now available. They've implemented several modifications to the system, as well as penalties for players who quit matches before they finish, to ensure that the competitive mode is free of those players known as "noobs," who are only competitive when they're winning and who can ruin the community of any game if they choose to.
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users will have to wait a little longer ; Bethesda hasn't given a full release date, simply confirming its availability on all platforms in approximately one year. Frankly, this has been a major blow for any console gamer who spent money on this title. According to Jeff Kaplan, the competitive mode isn't perfect yet, but it will be refined over time until it becomes truly excellent, worthy of this great video game company.
