Hey everyone!

We fixed a bug that had allowed players using Sigma to glitch the channeling of his Gravitic Flux, allowing Sigma to fly around the map unrestricted. This included doing so in matches with other players, and account actions were issued for those players found to be activating the bug. After further investigation, we came to understand that some of those we suspended likely didn’t deliberately exploit the bug with the intent to win. As a result, we’ve now reversed most of these actions, with only those who were deliberately attempting to win utilizing the bug remaining actioned.

Sigma is now available again to play in all modes, including Competitive Play.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hey everyone, while this bug is hilarious, we are going to be working to fix it as fast as possible. In the meantime, we are disabling Sigma from Competitive Play, but you can still use him in Unranked and Arcade modes including the new Starwatch: Galactic Rescue mode. Please note, do not deliberately attempt to trigger the bug even in these modes as it may not be fair for everyone else in the lobby. (See our Blizzard In-Game Code of Conduct for details.)

Yep, consider this a great boost to completing your Battle Pass!

Hey there everyone, we have been tracking this issue and working to get it corrected. Apologies for any leaver penalties, but I do have a workaround for the interim. Each time you log onto Overwatch 2, please take a moment to load into the Practice Range. Once you successfully load into the Practice Range, you can leave it and queue for any game mode, but be sure to do this each time you log in to be safe. For more details check out our known issues list in the Bug Report channel.

Viewership rewards on YouTube only work when a rewards-eligible live broadcast is running (which has not yet started this season). So that explains why you are not seeing the icon at this time.

Continue to follow OverwatchLeague.com for updates on when viewership rewards returns.

Sepheron64 is correct. To be specific, a team needs to have 1 minute or more with the other team with absolutely no time remaining. If both teams have any amount of time remaining, or if the team with time remaining has less than a minute, both teams get to attack again.

This rule also applies to the Assault map type when it used to appear in Competitive Play, which was more common to happen.

Greetings, Overwatch 2 Workshop creators!

With the launch of Season Four comes a variety of new Projectile tools to use in your custom games! Whether you want to give your heroes extra firepower, or add new dangerous obstacles to maps, you will be able to do so with these new scripts in the Workshop.

Creating Projectiles

You can now spawn projectiles as an action that can travel based on parameters you set, including direction, duration, speed, projectile size, and gravity. Projectiles can either damage, heal, or trigger other events you are able to script in your custom game. If you activate the Projectiles Extension, you can even select the appearance of projectiles from existing Overwatch 2 Hero abilities, such as Pharah’s rockets.

Creating Homing Projectiles

With a similar interface as regular projectiles, homing projectiles work by following a specified target configured by either a specific player or other va...

WELCOME TO SEASON FOUR FOR COMPETITIVE PLAY IN OVERWATCH 2!

Season four of Competitive Play is here!

Competitive Play is designed for those players who want to put their skills to the test and offers a more serious experience than our Quick Play or Arcade Modes. Players new to Overwatch 2 will unlock access to Competitive Play when they complete the Competitive Play Qualification challenge by winning 50 unranked games.

To the heroes of Overwatch,

We want to keep you up to date on some of the bugs and issues we’re aware of that are affecting the game. This is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting Overwatch 2, rather this is a targeted list of some known specific issues with this release.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience, and we appreciate y’all’s understanding. Our team is working to resolve these issues, and we will provide more information as soon as we have updates!

Greetings heroes!

Overwatch 2 Season 4 is just around the corner, and this will be a substantial update featuring the new Support hero, Lifeweaver, and a galactic-packed season which you can read in our blog here. This patch will also be a “rebase” patch which will require a very large download for all players on all platforms. Rebase patches consolidate our patches into the core game, which in the long run, keeps the final data size of the game client manageable for both PC and console.

You will need to have as much as 38 GB of free space on your system when updating. If you do not have that much space, you c...

This map was made on Twitch by Aaron Keller with help from everyone who tuned in during our “Twitch Makes Overwatch” live stream last December, everyone voted on things we put into the map as it was created in a span of a few hours. It was really awesome to see.

Overwatch 2 WIP VERY SERIOUS Patch Notes – DRAFT – DO NOT PUBLISH

DEVELOPER NOTE – TEST PATCH

These changes are only being applied to Arcade Mode for the moment, because Aaron Keller claims he can convene with Pachimari, and they told him to make this patch. He only plays the new arcade modes, so he shouldn’t notice otherwise.

We are starting a short maintenance, details here found in this post:

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-2-maintenance-march-20/790805/

Overwatch 2, along with all Blizzard games, will be undergoing server maintenance starting on Monday, March 20, at 5:00 AM PDT and will last for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, the game will be unavailable to play on all platforms. Prior to maintenance, we will slowly stop matchmaking queues and prevent new games from being able to start before the maintenance goes live. This maintenance is server-related only, and players should expect to see no change to gameplay once the service resumes. Thank you for your understanding.
