We’re working on this, basically everyone’s ready to dig into Venture’s new kit, so loading the Practice Range might be a bit slow for a little while.
Update: this is now resolved and loading the Practice Range should take the normal amount of time.

Read moreLet’s get ready to go on a new adventure! Log onto Overwatch 2 and play the newest Damage hero, Venture, now available to play in a limited-time hero trial starting today through Sunday, March 31 PDT. A member of the Wayfinder Society archaeological research group, this charismatic and enthusiastic archeologist changes the game with their ability to drill underground. Outwit your adversaries and unearth victory as you fight with your powerful Smart Excavator drill.
Here’s everything you need to know to jump into Overwatch 2 right now and play Venture this weekend before they land in Season 10.
Venture is the newest Damage hero to join the roster, wielding their powerful drill that adds unique mechanics to your gameplay. Using Smart Excavator, you’ll fire a seismic charge that will burst and damage opponents at a short distance. You can escape danger or sneak up on opponents by drilling into the ground using Venture’s n...

Read moreHello all, thank you for reporting this–this is on our radar! I did want to call out that this is a visual only bug affecting the End of Round flow. If you go to your Battle Pass page after a match, you will see the actual XP amount in the XP counter. So no worries, you arent losing out on any XP gained.
We have seen reports where players can no longer earn progress on the Competitive Point bonus progression, and we want to clarify what is going on. After you complete 30 full rounds of progression, earning a total of 3,000 bonus Competitive Points, you can no longer earn any additional Competitive Point bonuses for the remainder of the season. However, you can still earn Competitive Points when you win and draw games outside of the bonus progression. The purpose is to ensure that players are doing the best they can in every Competitive match and not just playing the mode solely to collect Competitive Points that are used to unlock Jade Weapons. Thank you for your feedback and reports, and we wish you luck as you climb the ranks for the remainder of Season 9.
Greetings, heroes! We have big updates on the horizon we're excited to share with you.
Let's kick things off with the stars of our game – the heroes.
Starting Season 10, all new heroes will be immediately unlocked when they launch. All existing heroes will also be unlocked for players. This means that heroes will no longer need to be unlocked through the Battle Pass to be playable in all game modes.
New players will still need to complete the first-time user experience to unlock heroes as they learn the ropes. Once the heroes from the original Overwatch roster have been unlocked, all Overwatch 2 heroes will also become available.
Last year at BlizzCon, we gave a sneak peek at our 40th hero, Venture, showcasing their unique underground mechanics and daring, adventurous spirit. We’re excited to share that all players will have immediate access to Venture when they officially join the Overwatch 2 line...
Read moreYe If I had to guess they want to see how doubling up on certain abilities change the flow of the game. Maybe something like double antis or double Mei wall.
No way they would actually let double picks happens for real
Yes, mainly a look into the world of some ability overlap
Hey all, my apologies for this issue. We were testing some changes to Group Respawn in the midseason patch and intended to revert them, but I failed to undo an important element.
The bug we have right now is that if any hero could be Group Respawned, all heroes will be Group Respawned (on a given team - the bug doesn't affect the other team). This is bad, because it means your respawn time can be averaged several more times than intended, leading to the 20+ second respawn times players are talking about in this thread. If you see a longer black screen when respawning, that's caused by the bug. Fortunately Group Respawn is still disabled in Overtime, so at least this won't stack as some players in this thread have hypothesized.
We're working on a fix, but it won't be ready before the weekend.
