Overwatch Update 1.07 Today on PS4 & Xbox One Fixes Bugs

A 347MB download, Blizzard has released Overwatch update 1.07 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One today. Mostly focusing on bug fixing and balance updates, here’s the full list of patch notes:

Bug Fixes

General

Fixed a bug causing incomplete character models to load on the Hero Selection screen

Fixed a bug that caused the placement matches screen to display when some players would disconnect and rejoin a match

Fixed a bug that was blocking spectator cameras from passing through some doors and force fields

Maps

Estádio das Rãs

Fixed a bug that allowed players to spawn as heroes other than Lúcio

Nepal

Fixed an issue which allowed players to get stuck outside the normal boundaries of the map

Temple of Anubis

Fixed a bug causing a portion of the city wall to display incorrectly on all graphics settings

User Interface

Fixed a bug that caused group indicator links to appear between a player and an empty player spot when the scoreboard was accessed during a match

As you may have noticed, many of the changes in this new console patch were included in the recent PC update.

Blizzard also announced that they’ve taken action against those using cheat programs in Overwatch. “Cheating will not be tolerated in any form, and we will continue to push for a cheater-free community,” they added. “If you believe that another player is cheating or you have information pertaining to the use of hacks, bots, or unauthorized third-party software in Overwatch, please let us know!”

A new PC update is currently in the Public Test Region, ahead of Competitive Season 2 beginning on September 6. “While many of these changes will also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and therefore will only reflect changes coming specifically to that platform,” Blizzard said.

The biggest changes to Competitive Play in the PTR update include the introduction of skill tiers, the removal of Sudden Death (matches that are tied when the clock runs out will end in a draw), and the skill rating system going to a 1 – 5000 scale. In addition to lots of Hero balancing, the PTR update will also make sit and laugh emotes unlockable for all heroes, and will add Torbjörn as an AI-controlled hero in Practice vs. AI, Play vs. AI, and Custom Game modes. We’ll let you know when this next Overwatch update becomes available on console.

Relaxing PS4 Games

Most Relaxing PS4 Games
ABZÛ

ABZÛ is the first game from indie developer Giant Squid, and it shows that the studio is one to watch. They've created a gorgeous experience that takes players to the wondrous depths of the sea. It also allows gamers to go at their own pace, and there is even a meditation mode where you can just watch fish swim around the idealized environments.
Entwined

Sony's smallest first-party development studio, PixelOpus, had an impressive debut effort. Their downloadable title, Entwined, was released during E3 and was met with praise by those who jumped in. The gorgeous PS4 game tells a story of a bird and a fish that are in love but must be separated. Players have to control the two souls with each analog stick, and bring them together so their love can blossom.
Flower

ThatGameCompany has put out some visually stunning games, but Flower might just be the most impressive. Players tilt their DualShock 4 controller in order to steer around a singular flower as it brings life back to the environment and turns a withering environment into a thriving one. It's a game players can lose hours to by just exploring its levels.
Grow Home

There are no time limits or lives to worry about in Grow Home. Instead, players just control an adorable robot named BUD and have him climb a beautiful world filled with plants. The lack of direction is refreshing, and it's one of the more open platformers ever released despite its small scale.
Hohokum

Hohokum is a wonderful interactive playground of art. Honeyslug's game doesn't give the player any direction, and instead allows for them to learn for themselves by exploring. Players control a colorful serpent who can interact with objects, and just take in the wild scenes they are in. It's a trippy experience, and one that is perfectly mellow.
Journey

Journey is one heck of a gaming accomplishment. From its inventive use of online cooperative play that creates a bond between players to its minimalist design, everything builds to something that is greater than the sum of its parts. It's also an amazing experience to just take in and enjoy the ride (or the journey — if I was going to be super cheesy).
Minecraft

Minecraft gives players a sandbox and allows them to create their own world. That amount of freedom is staggering, and it's incredible what creative gamers can do with it. Just relax and create whatever you want. There's no restrictions here.
Peggle 2

The most played game on my Xbox One was Peggle 2. That isn't a dig at the console's game library, just that Peggle 2 is a fantastic game and was one of its best exclusives. Thankfully, Popcap's phenomenal puzzle game is now on PS4, so everyone can enjoy it. It has charming music, a lot of lovable characters and is a relaxing game — well, whenever you don't miss the one final peg you need.
Pure Pool

One of the ways I love to relax in real life is by playing pool with friends. That isn't always possible, though, but thankfully Pure Pool provides a darn good digital alternative. Pool may be competitive, but there isn't anything stressful about playing light-hearted matches with buddies.
Tearaway Unfolded

Poor Tearaway. Media Molecule's best game wasn't able to find much of an audience on Vita, and Tearaway Unfolded didn't fare especially well on PS4 either. Regardless, they've made one of the prettiest and most chill games ever. From creating adorable crowns for a squirrel to wear to playing the role of the Sun, there's all sort of interesting ways to interact with Tearaway's great world.
