So, turns out a little something did come online today. On a new PS4 and Xbox One patch for Overwatch , you can create a glitch that changes the number of items a Hero has in the Hero Gallery. According to users on reddit, you have to let Overwatch run normally, until you get to the start button screen. Right as you connect, click the Hero Gallery page and the numbers should change.

Originally, it looked like nothing had happened when amomentincrime.com hit 100 percent . Then, a brand new patch popped up on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with under 100 MB of data. Players were confused, trying to figure out what this new information could be. Then through some ol’ fashioned reddit detective work , this glitch was found.

Here’s a full list of items in the Hero Gallery, with the regular numbers and the changed ones, courtesy of reddit user TheOfficialMrBiggs :

Hero - Current / Changed

  • Ana - 64/67 Items

  • Bastion - 65/68 Items

  • D.va - 63/66 Items

  • Genji - 64/67 Items

  • Hanzo - 63/66 Items

  • Junkrat - 64/68 Items

  • Lucio - 66/69 Items

  • Mccree - 63/66 Items

  • Mei - 64/67 Items

  • Mercy - 64/68 Items

  • Pharah - 65/68 Items

  • Reaper - 66/70 Items

  • Reinhardt - 66/69 Items

  • Roadhog - 64/68 Items

  • Soldier: 76 - 65/68 Items

  • Symmetra - 64/67 Items

  • Tornjorn - 64/67 Items

  • Tracer - 65/67 Items

  • Widowmaker - 65/68 Items

  • Winston - 64/67 Items

  • Zarya - 64/67 Items

  • Zenyatta - 64/67 Items

My guess is these numbers, when synced up, create a code that can be decrypted with more Sombra information. I know how tired I am of this ARG game; I just want to play as the hacker already without all of this random running around.

Do you have any idea what the latest Overwatch information could mean? Let us know in the comments.
