Overwatch’s Pride event is blocked in some countries, and fans demand change

Blizzard is celebrating Pride month in Overwatch 2 with a slew of cosmetics and an aesthetic update to the hybrid Midtown map in June, but not all players are able to experience the event that is meant to promote inclusivity.

While the event began on June 1, the devs had previously admitted that the event wouldn’t be available in some countries that have anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and many players have learned that includes portions of central and eastern Europe.
