This game update will go live on October 10, 2023!
Get ready for the spookiest event of the year as Overwatch 2 transforms into a haunted battleground. Halloween Terror is back with your favorite game modes—Junkenstein’s Revenge, Wrath of the Bride, and Trials of Sanctuary, a new Blizzard crossover game mode. Team up with the heroes of Sanctuary, power up their abilities, and defeat powerful bosses, including Butcher Roadhog, Azmodan Wrecking Ball, and Lilith Moira.
Due to ongoing technical issues with our Anniversary Challenges, we’re going to keep the Overwatch Credits rewards from challenges disabled for the remainder of the Event. To make up for this, we’re granting everyone who logs in during the first week of Season 7, starting October 10, a reward of 3,000 Overwatch Credits, even if you don’t complete challenges in the Anniversary Event. The Anniversary Credits Shop will be live through October 16. We’ll also have more content available for Overwatch Credits starting in Season 7 which we’ll reveal soon.
We’re currently experiencing an issue with Anniversary Event Challenges granting Overwatch Credits inconsistently. While we investigate, we’re disabling Credit grants from these Challenges. Once we have resolved the issue, we will compensate impacted players.
Please note that Credits will still be displayed as a reward for each of these Challenges. Apologies for the inconvenience!
With the Shop recently having Owl Guardian Mercy available for purchase, all players who bought the skin between August 29 - September 7, 2023, have received a full Overwatch Coins refund and still own their items. If you purchased the skin during that time frame, you should now see the Overwatch Coins credited back into your account. There is no need to start a ticket with Blizzard Customer Service to request a refund. You will need to restart your game client to see the Coins added back to your account.
If you do not have this skin already, you can claim it and add it to your collection when you connect your Prime Gaming account to Battle.net. Learn more on Prime Gaming for...

This bonus score is granted based on the time differential down to the nearest tenth of a second between your time and gold bonus tier. This new bonus time can be viewed in the finish line bonus tooltip on the course summary screen. This change affects all Hero Mastery courses played going forward and should allow the global leaderboards for each course to be more comp...

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!
