It was bound to happen, especially to a character who literally has the numbers 6 and 7 in his name. The meme that all the kids are saying and all the adults are confused by has entered Overwatch 2, courtesy of a new Soldier 76 emote.
To celebrate the meme officially dissolving into nothingness, let’s see your best 6️⃣7️⃣ clips when the emote drops tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/di3L8uxh17

Ironically, my kids hate this meme far more than I do. Probably because I play goofy dad and point out its appearances more than their friends do. Does it feel Fortnite-ish? Sure. I'm also the only one in the house who plays Fortnite, while my young'uns are the ones that shake their heads in embarrassment.
Of course, since Fortnite is collaborating with The Simpsons these days, it feels like even Fortnite is realizing gamers are skewing older than we ever have. The Steamed Hams reference is not for anybody under the age of 30, if we're honest.
In addition to the majesty of the 6-7 emote, here's all the other updates launching in Season 20 of Overwatch 2.
New DPS hero Vendetta in standard playlists
Two new heroes are arriving in Stadium:
