Hey guys,
To be transparent, we are working hard to get beta access rolled out to everyone who opted-in for this beta test. Your patience is appreciated.

There have been a lot of changes in OW2 that affect Symmetra-- like 2CP being removed, one less tank per team, less barriers, and an overall more offensive, aggressive playstyle.
With these testing iterations, our goal is to make her feel more natural in Overwatch 2’s ecosystem. That being said, we recognize that this previous change wasn’t helping us achieve our goal, so we’re starting to test some different things internally.
She means a lot to us, too, and we will share more with you soon!
I know! I wish we could have, too. We were unfortunately unable to patch as frequently as we did in the previous beta.
These changes are coming to the beta soon! I am so excited for y’all to try out the Mercy and Moira changes.
Season 35 of Competitive Play is here!
Unlocked at level 25, 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.

Read moreThe first week of the Overwatch 2 Beta is behind us—time flies when you’re having fun! The team has been hard at work compiling player feedback, squashing bugs, and gearing up for the mid-cycle patch. As we mentioned on the Overwatch forums last week, we’re going to talk a little more about the Mercy and Symmetra changes, as well as initial thoughts on Junker Queen and queue times!
Guardian Angel gives Mercy important mobility that is ...
Read moreHit me up in an hour!
we agree completely
If you’re a console player, you should receive an email from Blizzard that contains a code for the platform/region you signed up with at the opt in.
PC players are granted the license automagically by us, and we then follow up with an email
FYI, access being granted will probably happen for folks before they receive the email. Keep an eye out for the “Overwatch 2 Beta” option to appear in your dropdown menu
Today is our first day back from a holiday weekend. We’ll have more updates later this week
Folks should start getting emails later this afternoon. We’re currently rolling out PC invites (they take time to roll out), and will be adding folks from both Xbox and PS today
Howdy, folks!
We hope everyone has been enjoying themselves playing and keeping up with the Overwatch 2 Beta! We’ll have more in-depth updates next week, but there are a few things we wanted to address before then.
Symmetra’s Teleporter range has not been reduced as stated in the initial patch notes. The decision to keep her range came in pretty close to the beta, but her Teleporter range remains the same as it was prior to the beta at 30. This is now reflected correctly in the patch notes.
We’ve seen some feedback and thoughts on Mercy’s Guardian Angel changes, and this is something we plan to address next week. There will be updates to this ability in an upcoming mid-cycle patch.
Finally, we wanted to be completely transparent about when we’ll be patching the beta. Due to some tech limitations, it’s going to take a little longer before we can work in our planned changes across all platforms. However, there will be a mid-cycle patch including changes to ...
