Lúcioball is a Arcade game mode exclusive to the event, introduced during the 2016 Summer Games. It is an adaptation of association football/soccer, albeit with simpler rules and changes that complement Lúcio's abilities. In Summer Games 2017, some mechanics are changed to enhance the playing experience. Furthermore a competitive version of Lúcioball, Copa Lúcioball is introduced. Also since Summer Games 2017, 3 Special Achievements tied to this brawl have been introduced; they will unlock sprays when obtained.

Trivia[]
- The Summer Games 2016 event was based on the 2016 Summer Olympics which took place at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the same place where the Estádio das Rãs map is located.
- Although its name is Summer Games, the event takes place in winter for Brazil and Australia (the locations of Lúcioball's maps), as the two countries are located in Southern Hemisphere.
