Yep, there are even celebrities who play Overwatch
So far in our ‘celebrities who play’ series, we have looked after both PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite.
And now it is time to look at which famous faces love jumping on Overwatch to tank or just be a general nuisance as Mei.
Surprisingly or somewhat not surprising at all, there are actually quite a few celebrities who do enjoy Overwatch. However, we’ve managed to whittle it down to five of our favourites.
1. Elon Musk
Surely it is only a matter of time until Elon Musk creates his own Overwatch-esque competition on Mars or something.
However, while there are all sorts of crazy factors stopping that, he will just have to settle for playing the actual Overwatch…for now.
In a post on Twitter last year, Musk revealed that his main is Soldier 76 and does indeed play ranked.
As celebrities who play Overwatch go, Elon Musk is probably the biggest or at least most likely to turn into Lex Luther.
2. Terry Crews

Terry loves video games, and it would be impossible to create this list without mentioning him.
He really is a community favourite along with his young son and just about everyone thought he was the voice of Doomfist.
Again, it is tough for anyone not to like Terry!
3. Choi Dong Ha
Not exactly a household name, but at one point he was in the top 30 in the world for competitive Overwatch.
So who is he? Well, he is a K-Pop Idol, and in fact, he turned down the chance to become a professional gamer, wanting to focus more on his singing.
He is still known to play heavily, and you would imagine that with the popularity of the Overwatch League, he might just be regretting his decision.
4. Xavier Woods

WWE superstar Xavier Woods is a well-known gamer and has his own YouTube channel. In fact, he has found himself in a pretty long-standing rivalry with New Japan ace Kenny Omega.
However, while he may be known for loving fighting games, he is also a huge Overwatch fan. He recently spent time with Overwatch League team London Spitfire to learn what it is like to be a pro-gamer.
Woods might just be my favourite of all the celebrities who play Overwatch
5. T-Pain
Now, we could have gone for DeadMau5 again or even Conan O’Brien, but we’ve gone for Mr Pain.
It turns out that he is a big Overwatch fan and has even streamed the game semi-regular on YouTube and Twitch in the past. In fact, he is entertaining when playing and you absolutely should catch one of his streams when you can.
