Summary

Australian McDonald's customers can obtain a special Overwatch 2 "Tracer Lightning" skin by purchasing select meals through the MyMacca’s app, reflecting Blizzard's ongoing efforts to engage players following Overwatch 2's launch, which included announcing free items and an XP event.

Abstract

The article discusses a promotional partnership between McDonald's Australia and Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch 2, where customers can acquire an exclusive in-game skin for the character Tracer, dubbed "Tracer Lightning," by ordering specific meals via the MyMacca’s app. This promotion is part of Blizzard's strategy to enhance player experience post-launch, which has been marked by a bumpy start.

Australians, Get Your New Overwatch 2 Skin From McDonalds.

Gaming News

Anyone who lives in Australia and likes McDonalds can get themselves a new Overwatch 2 skin with the purchase of a meal from McDonalds.

The skin in question is of the hero Tracer and is called “Tracer Lightning.” This skin gives Tracer a unique outfit and hairstyle.

In order to get the skin, Australians will need to order one of the following from the MyMacca’s app:

  • Big Mac
  • McChicken
  • 10-Piece Chicken McNugget Combo

Although this skin isn't actually completely new. It was originally released back in 2018 as part of Overwatch’s anniversary event while also making its way into the in-game store a couple of times.

Nevertheless, if you’re one to eat out at McDonalds anyway and also happen to enjoy Overwatch, it’s a win-win scenario.

After the bumpy launch of Overwatch 2, I believe this is another way Blizzard is attempting to make up for it.

They have already announced an XP event as well as some free items, which are coming in less than a week. You can read about this announcement in my article below.

Writing and Editing Update

Recently, I wrote about my stats on Medium. While my gaming article receives great views from external sources, they get very few views from Medium members.

Here is the story if you are interested in my thoughts and feelings as a writer on Medium.

I also put a few links that might have new writers to gain followers and learn from the experiences of other writers. I wish you the best in your writing career.

Top writer badges might be valuable for new writers in some topics, even though gaming and social media did not bring me, new readers. I posted a video using the ideas of Dr. Yildiz and hope new writers can learn from this video or related article.

I enjoy posting a story each day. I will continue by posting one each day this month. Please feel free to join this writing challenge. I’d love to read your stories on this initiative.
