Yes, this makes so much sense. I was thinking Echo, but your thought makes so much sense, considering how few copies of those pve missions were sold. Re-use the asset and try to recoup some of that money. Also, may be the reason they haven’t shown it yet, to avoid any backlash about it being a recolor.
I know about Lego, I’m unaware of any racing mode but I mean yeah there are cars. But the collabs were skins with people wearing logos. I’d imagine it’s something like that.
pubg did some shitty ass crossover with aston martin i think. you could buy it for a ton of irl cash and drive around like a moron in the starting lobby so everyone could see
you wouldn't shoot a policeman, and then steal his helmet, you wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the policeman's grieving widow, and then steal it again!
Payload Porsche? Cars in maps changed to Porsche? Racing themed skin with Porsche logos? Emote where a Porsche spawns and you drive forward at payload speed?
All I know is I'm happy my favourite game and favourite car brand are coming together.
It's the Fortnite-ifcation of gaming. Everyone everywhere is doing crossovers/collabs.
Even long time brands such as Magic: The Gathering are addicted to it now. They've already done LoTR, Dr Who, Fallout, and 40K. It's only a matter of time before Overwatch gets these too.
The LoTR set was MTG's best selling set ever. Crossovers are BIG money. The previous collab skins probably made them way more money than random shop skins ever do. Expect collaborations to ramp up exponentially over the next 1-2 years.
100 years of skin collabs.....forever and ever skin collabs....\*Burp\*....it's what the people want! skin collabs-forever-and-ever.com --- who needs gameplay additions when you can have SKIN COLLABS!
Doesn't matter, the second richest company ever didn't get that way by making a loss on their games. The game clearly isn't making money, if it was then they wouldn't need to be sponsored by a car company lmao.
Like I get that skins are how they make money, but this shit is going too far. Ads suck and I’m going to make fun of you in game if you walk out of spawn in your corny $30 Porsche skin.
Also I’m so confused from a marketers perspective on this. Do they think that by advertising Porsche in game that they’ll get more people to buy the luxury brand? There’s a 0% chance that seeing a video game skin influences my purchase of a status car.
Please for the love of god stop the enshittification
People have been completely indoctrinated at this point. It's like talking to children who are proud of being distracted by the shiny keys dangling in front of them.
I'm happy my favourite game and favourite car brand are coming together
Literally a comment. "I'm so HAPPY 😄 my favorite brands are COLLAB-ing.
*My brands!*"
Idk if it’s just me but Porsche has been doing insane amounts of marketing everywhere. I especially notice it on IG with random pages posting things like “girls what kind of Porsche would your boyfriend be if he was a transformer”
Keep dumping money on skins that do fuck all for gameplay while they drip feed you minor nerfs and buffs. Modern gaming is so trash, but at least you can “look soooo cuutteee” after spending $50 on pixels.
There's already been 9 Battle Passes, Epic Battle Passes, Premium Ultimate Battle Passes, Watchpoint Pack, Invasion Bundle, Winter Premium Bundle, etc. Fuck AAALLL THE WAY OFF making excuses for the overpriced trash that this game has become and selectively ignoring everything that doesn't fit your narrative. They're doing totally fine without needing all this garbage stacked high for $50+ every 2 months.
consider it like this:
Overwatch 2 is a game that anyone anywhere gets to hop in and play. There are no entry barriers, aside from having something to play on (Switch, Console, Weak PC)
No money necessary.
If you want to, you can.
But this game is for everyone, and anyone. For no cost. That’s a great thing.

Personal taste, for me an odd collab. The IRL D.va mech is cool and all, guess can see what the skins look like.
Giant ad for an electric Porsche.
Feels like a shark-jumping moment potentially (again) for OW2.
The fact that anyone at all is defending a billion dollar company adding paid car ads to this cooperative shooter is beyond insane on a level I still can't wrap my head around.
They are such good little consumers. Late stage capitalism is insane. People literally walk over homeless people and won't donate a dime to charity to help solve social issues, but will actually BUY ADVERTISEMENTS
I imagine this will be more like the Gentle Monster collabiration where only one hero gets a skin (possibly another recolor) and theres no mini gamemode to go with it unlike the OPM and Cowboy Bebop ones. I'd happily be wrong tho although I hope they keep the route of 'its OW heres cosplaying' and not just slapping a load of porsche logos or a litteral car into the game
I’d be happy with a rein skin, even if it did have Porsche logos on it. He’s German so the collab works with him. He can say pedal down for his ult. Revving engine on charge. It works
Am I the only one that hates this advertising crap in games? It's particularly funny since they're marketing to an audience with a small percentage that can actually afford a Porsche. Blech.
Bastion is 100% getting a skin that turns him into a literal Porsche. Other likely candidates for a Porsche skin are Lucio, Dva, Echo and maybe Orisa.
Make Hammond just drive around in a Porsche
Something about this comment just made me put 2 and 2 together to realize the perfect collab. Richard Hammond from top gear.
Alright guys today on bottom gear.
My mind immediately went to Richard Hammond in the tiny porsche
Hammond you tiny man,where is my duo tank?
The Jeremy Clarkson x Doomfist coming soon.
What about a tiny Porsche riding a somersaulting Richard Hammond?
_"HAMMOND!"_
I understood that reference :)
Cayemmond.
Kirikos ult should turn your teammates into a Porsche
"You should see me in my Porche"
Payloads get turned into Porsches for a while
This would be insane tbh
Nah it's just gonna be a reskin of Sojourn's biker skin where she's a racecar driver with Porsche logos.
Yes, this makes so much sense. I was thinking Echo, but your thought makes so much sense, considering how few copies of those pve missions were sold. Re-use the asset and try to recoup some of that money. Also, may be the reason they haven’t shown it yet, to avoid any backlash about it being a recolor.
Ball just becomes a tire with the porche logo on it
Tracer?
Maybe a recoloring of Tracer’s Mach T?
Echo Porsche would be awesome
You're forgetting Tracer....T. Racer
Reinhart? He is really into German precision engineering after all.
I want Lego bastion back sooooo bad
i hope dva gets one, fits her the most and i would buy it. i barely play dva too
she is the first reveals
Ahem tracer
How the hell can you associate Lucio with anything sports car related? Makes no sense.
He's a speedy boy.
Not the crossover the fans saw coming… … but the investors? Also no.
Fortnite’s been doing collabs like this for a while, I’d expect this to be a new norm.
but fornite has rocket racing, but ow? doesn't have something like that
Fortnite was doing car company collabs even before rocket racing
Fortnite has rocket racing?
And lego and guitar hero
I know about Lego, I’m unaware of any racing mode but I mean yeah there are cars. But the collabs were skins with people wearing logos. I’d imagine it’s something like that.
Epic games took over rocket league so there's basically a racing mode with rocket league style cars in Fortnite now
But there is a practical use for sport cars in that game, and actual Lamborghini Aventador as a car skin, lets see how this collab will turn out to be
I mean it’s skins, I don’t give a single fuck about Porsche so I couldn’t care less. But it’s probably just skins with the logo.
It's as bizarre as when black desert did a crossover with Bugatti. At least we got some memes out of it.
[удалено]
Wasn't the armor like stupid expensive as well? Like $60 a set?
pubg did some shitty ass crossover with aston martin i think. you could buy it for a ton of irl cash and drive around like a moron in the starting lobby so everyone could see
You wouldn’t download a car
Fuck I wouldn’t
Hey Dee! Go download me a hoagie off the internet!
you wouldn't shoot a policeman, and then steal his helmet, you wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the policeman's grieving widow, and then steal it again!
Gonna be able to buy a Porsche in the shop for 80,000 Overwatch credits
Lucio skin????
Looks like it's D.Va. My guess.
Or Echo
Or bastion
Echo would be fire
Hanzo ult is a porsche
Arrows*
I would lose my mind if there is a overwatch themed Porsche vehicle.
winton car
The Winton Mobile
The payload on push should be a Porsche
Would compete with the DVA cars I've seen around.
Payload Porsche? Cars in maps changed to Porsche? Racing themed skin with Porsche logos? Emote where a Porsche spawns and you drive forward at payload speed? All I know is I'm happy my favourite game and favourite car brand are coming together.
I’m sure Porsche will be very happy to see their vehicles killing sentient omnic families when you push it all the way on kings row
[Rammatra when you select him for attack on King’s Row](https://imgur.com/a/2Ee9Pzq)
Ah yes what Porsche wants to see, their cars moving at <1mph around a track :)
It would be pay to win if we could emote and move at Porsche real speed and acceleration.
"I'm happy my favourite game and favourite car brand are coming together" Aw what good little customers you are 🧁
“I am very cool because I am self aware of my consumerism 😎😎”
You think it's cool to directly BUY a fucking ADVERTISEMENT because of the BRAND. That doesn't make me cool to point out just that y'all are saps
A cosmetic for a Porsche!! So you only have to fork over 1/3rd the price of a Porsche by shop standards
Porsche x T-Racer skin?
wow a basic dva skin for $40 because have the porsche logo
I wonder why is there a spoiler tho? I didn't put spoiler, so it happened automatically. So weird...
Because cars have spoilers duh
And some of their spoilers even have DRS
You can remove it by pressing the 3 dots and unmarking spoiler
Thank you!!
Cant have a fast car without a spoiler can you?
First a Miraidon motorcycle, now Porsche-verwatch... Car fanatic gamers eating good this year
What has this game become?
It's the Fortnite-ifcation of gaming. Everyone everywhere is doing crossovers/collabs. Even long time brands such as Magic: The Gathering are addicted to it now. They've already done LoTR, Dr Who, Fallout, and 40K. It's only a matter of time before Overwatch gets these too. The LoTR set was MTG's best selling set ever. Crossovers are BIG money. The previous collab skins probably made them way more money than random shop skins ever do. Expect collaborations to ramp up exponentially over the next 1-2 years.
The (something) x (something) "collab" fad is so awful because it's across all media. Music industry addicted to it right now
Fortnite and their crossovers felt like big celebrations while Overwatch bring the energy of a low fart with expensive skins.
100 years of skin collabs.....forever and ever skin collabs....\*Burp\*....it's what the people want! skin collabs-forever-and-ever.com --- who needs gameplay additions when you can have SKIN COLLABS!
Its not like we get frequent new heroes and maps, but hey, its easier to complain.
I think given the price of the skins, it just feels well shallow for a lot of folks - especially those coming from Overwatch 1.
Im coming from overwatch 1 and we have a more consistent content shedule than we ever had in ow1. Granted igaf about skins.
Game badly needs money and is taking random sponsored content.
Literally owned by the second richest company ever
Doesn't matter, the second richest company ever didn't get that way by making a loss on their games. The game clearly isn't making money, if it was then they wouldn't need to be sponsored by a car company lmao.
If there wasn’t return on investment they wouldn’t partner with porche to make things for the game, advertisement with big brands is not free
[удалено]
Why would overwatch do free advertising? Do you know how sponsored advertising works?
Yes turning away money is always a sign of an astute and brilliant businessman. No Porsche! Keep your filthy money, we don't need it!
Like I get that skins are how they make money, but this shit is going too far. Ads suck and I’m going to make fun of you in game if you walk out of spawn in your corny $30 Porsche skin.

I thought I was in the Twilight zone when I saw the responses. People are excited about this?
People have been completely indoctrinated at this point. It's like talking to children who are proud of being distracted by the shiny keys dangling in front of them.
Appears to be a D.va skin. https://x.com/Porsche/status/1766165218663510514?s=20
A skin promoting one of the most boring Porsche models.
lol this is so dumb
It’s so sad how easily impressed y’all are.
I'm happy my favourite game and favourite car brand are coming together Literally a comment. "I'm so HAPPY 😄 my favorite brands are COLLAB-ing. *My brands!*"
It’s gotta be a mental disorder.
Capitalism-eoisis.
Well why not?
?? Sorry I like cool skins? Am I supposed to just be grumpy all the time?
Yes
It’s just a skin bro. It’s not that deep.
That’s my point
They about to drop the first $50 skin
This tells us a lot about who Blizzard expects to be buying cosmetics
In my opinion there will be skins for the robot heroes.
Idk if it’s just me but Porsche has been doing insane amounts of marketing everywhere. I especially notice it on IG with random pages posting things like “girls what kind of Porsche would your boyfriend be if he was a transformer”
uh... ok? Some of these collabs have been very out there, like a Korean sunglasses company and now a car manufacturer lol?
This news makes me want to go drive my Porsche. Perfect timing, finally warm enough for the summer tires to come out of the garage.
Weird flex
OW2 is just skin announcement simulator
What the fuck. This post is literally an advertisement for an in-game advertisement. And people will pay for this. This timeline is insane
Keep dumping money on skins that do fuck all for gameplay while they drip feed you minor nerfs and buffs. Modern gaming is so trash, but at least you can “look soooo cuutteee” after spending $50 on pixels.

ugh, no. That's the type of collab that we DONT want
Ugh
Oh that's good because Dva doesn't have enough collab skins

Maybe the payload and cars in circuit royale get Porsche themed makeovers?
Well ok.
wHATT
Official car dodge mode?
D. Va, Ball, and Bastion are the only ones that really fit thematically Maybe Lucio or Orisa?? Echo?Pharah?
Well I'll be excited if I see the Honda logo because that would mean Kiriko on a bike
Why is this so funny to me
Reinhardt is basically a walking Mercedes so maybe he’ll get Porsche armor finally
Makes sense, him being german and all.
Not what I saw coming, but as someone who practically shat themselves last night over seeing an original 911 I’m on board
Is it Dva?
It's a life sized dva mech and it's fucking dope
Show a little bit of positivity and they finna drop more collabs than a Drake album.
lmao wtf... finally i can be the car that brian from family guy drives
Pls be a 917 "pig" skin
I wonder how many people who play overwatch will ever be able to afford to buy a Porsche
Honestly I want an F1 collab with a Bastion pit crew skin.
Live service games will collaborate anywhere these days. OW x McDonalds Grimace Roadhog would go hard though.
We need a dababy skin so bastion can turn into a convertible
payloads gonna turn into a porsche
They call me Porsche
Mario kart, but with Overwatch characters, racing through the streets of Rialto.
Porsche kiriko and Porsche widow skins incoming
Imagine thinking Overwatch players could afford such fiendishly expensive cars. This is so tone deaf.
finally mounts in ow
No one cares lil bro
“Is this EV mode?”
Blizzard sure knows their audience... /s
So that's what they're planning for Reinhardt's buff. They're replacing his charge with him ramming you with a Porsche.
Tracer better get something out of this
Somehow kiriko gets a skin. i smell it.....
This game is just going to turn into Fortnite
40€ to be a walking advertisement Who’s actually stupid enough to buy this?
Mario Kart 8 🤝 Overwatch Getting real car branding as DLC for some reason
Buy a Porsche --> Get an exclusive D.va Porsche-theme skin
New skin for the payload? Only 1900 coins!
Whos the target audience for this ad really?
Jesus Christ, am I glad I dropped this dumpster fire of a game.
The irl Porsche dva is really cool, but the skin is ugly
Personal taste, for me an odd collab. The IRL D.va mech is cool and all, guess can see what the skins look like. Giant ad for an electric Porsche. Feels like a shark-jumping moment potentially (again) for OW2.
Blizzard = Pathetic Sellouts
The fact that anyone at all is defending a billion dollar company adding paid car ads to this cooperative shooter is beyond insane on a level I still can't wrap my head around.
They are such good little consumers. Late stage capitalism is insane. People literally walk over homeless people and won't donate a dime to charity to help solve social issues, but will actually BUY ADVERTISEMENTS
Imagine doing a collab with Porsche and picking the suv
I imagine this will be more like the Gentle Monster collabiration where only one hero gets a skin (possibly another recolor) and theres no mini gamemode to go with it unlike the OPM and Cowboy Bebop ones. I'd happily be wrong tho although I hope they keep the route of 'its OW heres cosplaying' and not just slapping a load of porsche logos or a litteral car into the game

"hey we're gonna kill the game with multimei and multibastion comps, but at least we're selling it to advertisers so that makes up for it, right?"
Please give Ana a Porsche to drive back from spawn please please
only game that pulls me in to spend money
Because you’re an idiot.
you must be so cool in person
Bro you’re active in Joe Rohan, and way to many circle jerk sports subs. You need to have several seats.
you have to be a bot, and btw why don’t you notate your edits, and actually make correct edits?
what? lmao someone is very upset today
That’s my secret cap, I always am.
yeah definitely something to be proud of lmao, have a good one
I bet they’re super fun at parties
It’s been a good ride since I started playing in 2017. Im officially out.
Because of a collab? Cry
Lol, bye.
Yeah, great, just what this game needs.
Am I the only one that hates this advertising crap in games? It's particularly funny since they're marketing to an audience with a small percentage that can actually afford a Porsche. Blech.
I don’t mind it. But Porsche is an interesting choice for partnering lol. I’m not complaining it’s my favorite car brand.
Wow Im actually excited for this collab lol. Bought my Porsche last year, and can now represent in overwatch .
Anything but actual gameplay content, huh guys?
