Be sure to check out our Cross-Play blog for questions regarding how Cross-Play impacts Top 500 and Leaderboards!
Some key notes:
PC players will remain on their own, separated leaderboard since they do not Cross-Play with other platforms in Competitive under any circumstance

If you’re opted out of Cross-Play, only players from your platform who are also opted out of Cross-Play will be present on the leaderboard
Regional leaderboards still exist for all platforms
Season 29 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.

Hey everyone!
Today’s Global Battle.net update has caused some confusion in the community about region locking and swapping, so let’s take a moment to provide some clarity about details that might not be immediately clear:
Why can’t I swap regions anymore?
The simple answer is, you are placed into the best match based on a variety of factors including player skill and ping. Getting more technical, it’s because the regions themselves no longer exist (at least not in the way players traditionally understand them), so there is no region to swap to.

Hey everyone, have a slightly different topic to post about today – Let’s talk hack-related bans.
Over the course of Overwatch’s five-year history, we’ve been monitoring and taking action against software used to cheat the game. A number of teams are dedicated to not only actioning accounts found guilty of hacking, but also improving our systems to help with automatic detection. Overwatch developers, security engineers, cross-functional risk experts, and multiple customer service support teams work in tandem to frequently and meaningfully take action against bad actors.
When we talk about anti-cheat, we are always cognizant of some risks involved:
