Read moreAs we wrap up this season and head into Overwatch 2: Invasion, we’d like to share some information regarding hero lifetime challenges.
Right now, there are lifetime challenges for each of the heroes, and completing those challenges unlocks player icons. These lifetime challenges and player icons will be integrated into the new player progression system when Overwatch 2: Invasion launches, but any current progress on these lifetime challenges will not transfer over into the new player progression system.
You will keep any previously earned rewards from completing the lifetime challenges moving into the new system. You can still complete the hero lifetime challenges until the end of season five.
We’re super stoked to introduce our new player progression system when Overwatch 2: Invasion launches on August 10!
Hello Heroes!
Hope you have been having fun in the sun with Lúcioball and Winston’s Beach Volleyball during the Summer Games seasonal event. Now, we’re heating things up with a double XP weekend, running now until Sunday, July 16!
During the Double XP event, your accumulated match XP from each match played will be doubled. Please note any XP rewarded for completing challenges, bonus XP for participating in flex queue or impacted roles in Role Queue, and any XP rewards from endorsements are not multiplied during bonus XP weekends. When you receive double XP for your matches played, you should see the total number of XP after each match is higher than normal. However, the end-of-game Battle Pass screen will not indicate the amount that is multiplied.
Thanks, and have a great summer!

Hello everyone,
Season Four is about to come to a close and we had many fun adventures including bringing Lifeweaver to the roster, falling into death pits on Talantis, taking part in intergalactic battles with Starwatch, and finally celebrating inclusivity and being who you are with our first Pride celebration. We’re finishing up the season with a double XP event, starting now until the season ends on June 12.
During the Double XP event, your accumulated match XP from each match played will be doubled. Please note any XP rewarded for completing challenges, bonus XP for participating in flex queue or impacted roles in Role Queue, and any XP rewards from endorsements are not multiplied during bonus XP weekends. When you receive double XP for your matches played, you should see the total number of XP after each match be higher than normal. However, the end-of-game Battle Pass screen will not indicate the amount that is multiplied.
Thanks, everyone for a fun season...

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.
