Overwatch 2 has just started its official Pride event, which kicks off on June 1, 2023. During the Pride event, players can see minor changes to the Midtown map along with new player icons, name cards, and a short story.
Although the event marked the first time that Pride Month was officially featured in the game, some members of the LGBTQ+ community were let down by the event. However, that didn’t stop everyone from appreciating the gesture nonetheless.

The other Reaper, Visignone, eventually responds and says, “Take me on a date first,” and the two end up having a nice walk through the Colosseo for the rest of the quick play match.
