When Does the Overwatch Winter Event End?
By Ryan Borja
With the New Year right around the corner, players are wondering when the Overwatch Winter Event will end so they won't miss out on the exclusive winter-themed legendary skins.
The Overwatch Winter Event ends on Jan. 2. Before this time, players can still open Winter loot boxes in order to get the following legendary skins:
- Jotunn Doomfist
- Mountain Man McCree
- Rat King Reaper
- Rime Sigma
There’s snow place like home.

There are also special game modes that are active during the event, such as a Snowball Deathmatch consisting of a free-for-all deathmatch between eight Meis, a Snowball Offensive which is a Mei 6v6 team deathmatch, where her blaster only shoots a one-shot-kill snowball, and finally the Yeti Hunter game mode that sets five Meis against a powered up Yeti-Winston.
The first two weeks of challenges have already passed, with Week 1 giving the Ugly Sweater Soldier:76 skin and Week 2 giving the Holly Moira skin.
Before Jan. 2, players can still participate in the Week 3 challenge, which will unlock the Snow Angel Mercy, alongside the Snow Angel player icon and Winter Spell spray.
