Fans have been waiting a long time to be able to save their PotGs more easily in Overwatch . This was promised months ago.
If you make a particularly cool play in Overwatch and earn the “Play of the Game,” it is currently difficult to share that with the world. While the last 5 “Play of the Game” moments are saved in Overwatch (on PC), once the game is over, the recordings are gone. This is quite cumbersome, as you first have to start Fraps, Shadowplay, or a similar recording program to create the video clips and then upload them to YouTube.
Saving Play of the Games as a Feature
Many months ago, fans complained and wished that Blizzard would finally introduce a feature to permanently save the “PotGs” and export them directly from the game.
The topic has now been brought up again in the official forum, asking whether it has simply been forgotten or if it is still on Blizzard’s agenda. The response came – as always – promptly from Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director of Overwatch:
“This is the current focus of our feature team (a smaller development team within the Overwatch team). The team is working very hard on this and has been for months. Expect more details early this summer.”
“Early this summer” probably means in about 2-3 months, so in the next major patch coming up for Overwatch.
How are you currently saving your “Play of the Game” moments? Or do you not care about this feature?
