UPDATED November 15: Due to a delay in launching our third wave of Twitch drops for Season One we have extended our window of time for these drops from ending on November 30 at 11:00 a.m. PST to end on November 30 at 11:59 p.m. PST.

It’s been nearly three weeks since Season One dropped, and we’ve welcomed over 20 million players to Overwatch 2 in the time between. This season has introduced new heroes, map, cosmetics, and we want to keep the fun going with Twitch drops throughout the rest of the season. We just completed our campaign for Kiriko drops, including a new legendary skin, and millions of drops have been given away to players worldwide. This response has been so huge that we are bringing in more drops for everyone to collect!

Starting tomorrow, October 25, 11:00 a.m. PST through to November 6, 11:00 a.m. PST, players will have the chance to collect the Werewolf spray and a legendary skin for Winston from the Halloween Terror co...

The info in this thread is correct. Almost all players go into the cross play queues, so being in a platform specific queue will be a much longer wait.

I’ll see if we can add some messaging in the client that warns you if you’re set this way.

Shortly after the launch of Overwatch 2, we discovered a bug that was causing console-specific career profile stats to be reset for players each time they played a game of Overwatch on console. This bug was due to the statistics data initially using any PC pool stats to build on instead of console pool stats, even if a player does not play on the PC platform. We have deployed a fix to this bug, and games completed on console platforms after the fix will correctly store statistics on career profiles. We are now working on restoring stats from Overwatch to all Overwatch 2 console accounts and will do that for all console players. Unfortunately, due to the nature of this bug, any stats from matches played since October 4 through October 18, 2022 will not be recoverable and will not be reflected in your current career profile. Here are a few questions and answers to understand how this will affect players.

Q. What data has been lost?
Any console-specific mat...

Double XP Weekends are here! Starting today, your accumulated match XP from each match played will be doubled during eligible weekends. 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 doubled during double XP weekends. You can earn double XP for matches played on these dates:

  • October 21 – 11:00 AM PDT to October 24 – 11:00 AM PDT
  • October 28 – 11:00 AM PDT to October 31 – 11:00 AM PDT
  • November 24 – 11:00 AM PDT to November 28 – 11:00 AM PDT

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, during our first two double XP weekends, no direct in-game messaging will indicate XP has been doubled. We will be adding messaging in-game coming in future double XP weekends.

We spoke to the Sound Design team about this, and we’re going to address this in a future game update, hopefully addressing the discomfort you’re experiencing.

Please keep an eye on game updates notes to know when this change has been implemented!
