Overwatch PachiMarchi challenge: How to unlock NEW Epic Roadhog skin and PS5, Xbox news

    665

    Overwatch has been given a big new update this week, and it’s especially good news for Xbox Series X fans.

    As part of the new update, the team-based first-person shooter has been optimised for Xbox Series X.

    Fans can now select from various different graphics and performance options for the next-gen console.

    The Resolution mode lets fans play in 4K at 60 frames-per-second on Xbox Series X, and at 1440p and 60 frames-per-second on Series S.

    Framerate, meanwhile, takes things up to 120 frames-per-second, with a reduction in the resolution.

    There’s no word on whether the same update will be available for PS5, although it seems like a pretty safe bet.

    Elsewhere, Overwatch fans can unlock a brand new Epic skin for Hogwild by completing the limited time PachiMarchi challenge.

    Running from now until March 22, the PachiMarchi challenge lets fans unlock a new player icon by winning three games, as well as a Junkrat emote by winning six games.

    Finally, you can unlock the Epic Roadhog Pachimari skin by winning a total of nine games in March. As an added bonus, you’ll receive six new sprays simply by logging in.
