This week we had multiple request to do Overwatch 2 by: Blizzard Entertainment. Since OW2 originally was not a Game Pass game and just a free to play game, we did a patreon episode on it. Since Microsoft owns Blizzard and OW2 is listed on the Game Pass list, you could argue its a Game Pass game. So here is our patreon episode.
