'Overwatch' Patch 1.0.4 Out On PS4: Update Brings Competitive Play, Hero Nerfs And Bug Fixes

Overwatch on Playstation 4 just got the newest patch, bringing it in line with Xbox One and PC. The new Overwatch update 1.0.4 is 1.3 GB in size and brings McCree and Widowmaker nerfs, Competitive Play and a ton of bug fixes.
