'Overwatch' DLC Release News: PS4, Xbox One Ana Patch Delay? Update Causes Problems For PC - What To Know Before Downloading

Ana Amari, the newest character on "Overwatch," has gone live on the PC. However, the latest patch is causing a few issues for players and its release on the PS4 and Xbox One could be delayed because of this. What should gamers be wary of before downloading the Ana patch update on "Overwatch"? Read on below for the details.

'Overwatch' DLC Ana Patch: PC Issues

The game's newest hero is a bad-ass female sniper that is supposed to bring balance in the game, but users have been reporting otherwise. According to Mashable, the "Overwatch" DLC Ana patch has affected the performance of the game's other heroes. Thus, players will have to adjust their strategies.

The Daily Dot confirms that the "Overwatch" DLC Ana patch has indeed affected the game's balance. In the game's Competitive Play mode, Ana limits players especially during overtime mode, where there's now little time for players to refresh.

However, the "Overwatch" DLC Ana patch has also boosted the abilities of other heroes, such as Zenyatta and D. Va. In the past, these characters were not usually used as players find them too weak for tournaments and competitions. The Ana update has made these characters' hits and damage more powerful this time. It also improved on their defenses and ultimates.

Blizzard has outlined the full changes to "Overwatch" with the Ana patch for the PC in its official community. This is a must-read for all players before downloading. Now, gamers on the PS4 and Xbox One are waiting for their Ana patch to roll out.

'Overwatch' DLC Ana Patch: PS4 & Xbox One Release

"Please note that many of these changes will be implemented on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in an upcoming patch," Blizzard confirmed in their statement. Fans speculate that this update could happen in a matter of days as with its previous patch updates.

Blizzard is only supposedly waiting for the Ana patch's approval from Sony and Microsoft. At best, console gamers might be able to download this at the earliest on Thursday, July 21, or the latest, Monday, July 25, according to avid gamers on Reddit. A member pointed out that the infrastructure of console games is a lot more challenging to update, hence the differences in days. However, gamers are willing to wait as long as the new patch is without bugs and issues.
