Australians, Get Your New Overwatch 2 Skin From McDonalds.
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.
