Overwatch Dev Tracker

Hey everyone,

Today, we announced the upcoming PachiMarchi event releasing tomorrow, March 9th, 2021! We’re super excited for the event and can’t wait for you to jump in game and start earning rewards.

We want to call out that this event will not contain Twitch drops, unlike previous Challenge micro-events. With that said, you’ll still be able to unlock 6 community-created sprays just by launching Overwatch before the event ends. We still intend to showcase and support community Twitch content creators throughout the event ...

Yes, you will keep the Competitive Points earned from wins throughout the extension.

Yes! Competitive Season 26 Extension

In this context, it refers primarily to Competitive Points.

If you did not place during Season 26 and you place during the extension you will be eligible for end-of-season rewards. The note on “non-consumable” rewards refers to those who already received their rewards for the season.

To clarify questions surrounding Top 500 rewards and the extension of the season: If you were within Top 500 and already received your rewards, you will keep those rewards. Those who were not able to claim their rewards between the original end of season and extension will need to maintain Top 500 through the end of the extension in order to receive Top 500 rewards on Tuesday when Season 26 comes to an end.

If you did not receive your Competitive Points when loading into the game after the original end of Season 26, you’ll receive your rewards next Tuesday when the extended season ends.

Nope! Took us a minute to get the leaderboard back up - Should be visible now.

Your end-of-season SR will be the value reached at the updated end of Season 26 next Tuesday, i.e. there are no SR reversions.

Better to let you know of this bad news now, if an account has been banned for the season in Competitive Play mode, all end-of-season rewards are forfeited. If you accumulate 3 season bans, it will be a permanent ban from the Competitive Play mode as well.

If you refer to disconnections or game crashes, please take the time to ...

There is an experimental play patch that released today. Details here:

If you didn’t log in between the expected end of Season 26 and it being re-enabled, you’ll receive your rewards on Tuesday when Season 27 begins! Sorry for the wait.

I would actually point out this is the first time a patch was launched right at the time a main competitive season ended. This is more likely a straight up bug, than any major changes happening. From what I have been told, there are no planned changes for season 27.

If you earned a Top 500 placement already, you keep that.

Its that more people can now reach Top 500.

Time to get back to the grind!

The mode is now back online!

An update! Competitive Season 26 Extension

Season 27 is now anticipated to begin next Tuesday. In the interim, you can continue to play games attributed to Season 26.

A technical issue arose with today’s rollout of Season 27 of Competitive Play. Our team tested a number of fixes, but in the interest of time and allowing players to get back into Competitive Play, we have made the choice to the extend Season 26 a few days while we continue to identify the cause of this issue and work on a fix.

Season 27 is now anticipated to begin next Tuesday. In the interim, you can continue to play games attributed to Season 26. Since this is a bit out of the ordinary, there are some known issues we’d like to note up front:

• The season will be tagged with “Season ends in less than a minute” – We anticipate that Season 27 will begin around 11:00 AM PST on Tuesday, March 9
• The leaderboard will be re-enabled and will reflect changes in ranks as if Season 26 never ended
• Players who climb ranks during this extension will be eligible to receive non-consumable rewards (i.e. sprays), but will not receive additional competitive ...
