Instead of donning your ugliest Christmas jumper with shame (or pride), this Ugly Christmas Jumper Day celebrate with us by taking a look at some of the best (or worst) festive game skins!
Overwatch 2
Every year, the Winter Wonderland event returns to Overwatch 2. During the event, we are treated to a selection of snow-filled game modes and festive skins. We’re torn between which two festive skins are our favourite, Penguin Mei or Nutcracker Zenyatta…
You can’t deny becoming a penguin would sure prove advantageous against this sudden cold blast of weather, and we’ve all wanted to know what it would be like to have flippers. (no? Just me then…)
Plus, who doesn’t want to throw nuts at their enemies?
Speaking of Overwatch, this Ugly Christmas Jumper Day we can’t help but think of Solider 76’s Ugly Sweater 76 festive skin.
I wonder which relative decided to gift him his Christmas jumper.
Fortnite
Everyone’s favourite battle royale, Fortnite, comes will a selection of incredible Christmas-themed skins to get you in the festive spirit.
Whether you are defeating your enemies or building defences, you can do this as Blinky, a man made out of nothing but Christmas lights donned with a hat, scarf, and explosive Christmas crackers.
Or better yet, become the Yule Trooper and take inspiration from Jack Skellington, by blending Halloween and Christmas into one!
On the topic of giving yourself a fright this Christmas…
The Fa-La-La-La-Fishstick skin has to be on our naughty list. Christmas and fish don’t really spark the festive spirit for us at Overclockers UK.
Apex Legends
Similar to Fortnite, Apex Legends also features an array of festive skins, weaponry, and game modes.
The Brudda Bear legendary skin will transform the defensive legend, Gibraltar, into a big cuddly snowy-white bear. You’ll feel protected against your enemies with Brudda Bear forming a shield around you. All whilst Joyfinder sets off to hunt down your victims and Christmas spirit.
Minecraft
In Minecraft, you can customise your character’s skin to show off just how Christmassy you feel! Minecraft’s community creates hundreds of festive-themed skins that you can download, from Santa to Rudolph. Plus, you can create the winter wonderland of your dreams full of Creepers and zombies to explore.
