Overwatch players are sharing their memories of the game as it prepares to go offline before the launch of Overwatch 2. 

Unless you've been living under a rock over the past few days, you probably already know that later today, October 3, Overwatch will be gone forever. Not to worry though, Overwatch 2 is due to take its place very shortly after. 

As you'd expect, considering Overwatch has been part of our lives since 2016, many people are getting sentimental about the original game's departure and are sharing their memories, memes, and highlights of their time with the Blizzard FPS game. 

Starting with Twitter, the official @PlayOverwatch (opens in new tab) account got the ball rolling by asking fans to share their favourite memories from Overwatch 1 using the hashtag #SeeYouOnTheOtherSide (opens in new tab). This led to several posts containing gameplay highlights, funny moments, and more from the first Overwatch game. 

Over on the Overwatch subreddit (opens in new tab), it's a similar story so we've picked out the best, and most heart-wrenching, goodbyes and embedded them below. 

We’re celebrating our transition to the next chapter with #SeeYouOnTheOtherSide! Use the hashtag to share your favorite memories from Overwatch 1 and get hyped for what the future holds!
