The coveted "Play of the Game" (POTG) highlight in Overwatch is a beloved feature, showcasing the most impressive moment from a completed match. However, the exact location of where you view the POTG isn't always immediately obvious, especially for new players.

Finding Your POTG Highlight

The POTG is displayed after a match concludes. It's not something you can access during gameplay or replay individually. Instead, following the match summary screen which shows individual player statistics and the final score, the POTG will automatically begin playing.

This highlight reel is shown centrally on the screen, usually featuring a short cinematic showcasing the winning play. The cinematic itself highlights the player who earned the POTG, usually with slow-motion replays and dramatic camera angles.

What if I Missed It?

If you missed the POTG, unfortunately, there's no direct way to replay it from the game's main menu or within the match history. Overwatch doesn't currently offer a dedicated replay system for viewing specific highlights or moments outside the immediate post-match sequence.

Why POTG Matters (and Sometimes Doesn't)

While a fun celebratory moment, it’s important to note that POTG is not a definitive measure of a player's overall performance or skill. Sometimes a spectacular play might overshadow consistent, strategic contributions by other teammates. A good team relies on coordinated efforts, not just individual highlights.

Future Possibilities

While currently there’s no in-game method to rewatch POTGs, future updates to the game or additional features could potentially address this. Many players have requested features like personal highlight reels or more robust replay systems. However, there are no current announcements regarding such changes.

In short, keep an eye out for the POTG at the end of each match!
