Overwatch: Blizzard is working on a better spectator mode

Blizzard is committed to creating easier ways for spectators to enjoy Overwatch Esports events, the developer recently confirmed.

The biggest problem with Overwatch at the moment is team colours will change from blue to red depending on the perspective of the player being watched. For each player, blue will always represent their team, while red, the enemy.

“We’re working on a better team coloring system right now,” Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan said on the game’s forums.

“We’ve put significant efforts against this issue. We agree, it’s a top issue and there are a lot of areas for improvement. Our results and progress has been really good and I have faith the team will deliver something that raises the quality of the experience significantly.”

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
