To clarify - Not stating that some of the Experimental changes recently tested won’t make their way live, just not tomorrow.

Yes! Competitive Season 27 is on track to begin as the patch rolls out (and event begins) tomorrow.

We are not currently planning to push any of the experimental changes to the live environment tomorrow. The team is reviewing feedback and performance - Once the changes are finalized, we’ll look to get a balance patch out before to long.

Hey everyone,

Today, we announced the upcoming PachiMarchi event releasing tomorrow, March 9th, 2021! We’re super excited for the event and can’t wait for you to jump in game and start earning rewards.

We want to call out that this event will not contain Twitch drops, unlike previous Challenge micro-events. With that said, you’ll still be able to unlock 6 community-created sprays just by launching Overwatch before the event ends. We still intend to showcase and support community Twitch content creators throughout the event ...

Yes, you will keep the Competitive Points earned from wins throughout the extension.

Yes! Competitive Season 26 Extension

In this context, it refers primarily to Competitive Points.

If you did not place during Season 26 and you place during the extension you will be eligible for end-of-season rewards. The note on “non-consumable” rewards refers to those who already received their rewards for the season.

To clarify questions surrounding Top 500 rewards and the extension of the season: If you were within Top 500 and already received your rewards, you will keep those rewards. Those who were not able to claim their rewards between the original end of season and extension will need to maintain Top 500 through the end of the extension in order to receive Top 500 rewards on Tuesday when Season 26 comes to an end.

If you did not receive your Competitive Points when loading into the game after the original end of Season 26, you’ll receive your rewards next Tuesday when the extended season ends.

Nope! Took us a minute to get the leaderboard back up - Should be visible now.

Your end-of-season SR will be the value reached at the updated end of Season 26 next Tuesday, i.e. there are no SR reversions.

If you didn’t log in between the expected end of Season 26 and it being re-enabled, you’ll receive your rewards on Tuesday when Season 27 begins! Sorry for the wait.

An update! Competitive Season 26 Extension

Season 27 is now anticipated to begin next Tuesday. In the interim, you can continue to play games attributed to Season 26.

A technical issue arose with today’s rollout of Season 27 of Competitive Play. Our team tested a number of fixes, but in the interest of time and allowing players to get back into Competitive Play, we have made the choice to the extend Season 26 a few days while we continue to identify the cause of this issue and work on a fix.

Season 27 is now anticipated to begin next Tuesday. In the interim, you can continue to play games attributed to Season 26. Since this is a bit out of the ordinary, there are some known issues we’d like to note up front:

• The season will be tagged with “Season ends in less than a minute” – We anticipate that Season 27 will begin around 11:00 AM PST on Tuesday, March 9
• The leaderboard will be re-enabled and will reflect changes in ranks as if Season 26 never ended
• Players who climb ranks during this extension will be eligible to receive non-consumable rewards (i.e. sprays), but will not receive additional competitive ...

We’re looking into it!

This Experimental mode is anticipated to be available until early next week.

Hey everyone!

We’re back with another Experimental mode focused on testing some balance changes. As with all Experimental modes, these changes are not guaranteed to reach the live version of the game. Check out the patch notes here.

What are we trying to address?

This Experimental mode is focused on fine tuning previous balance changes. While there isn’t an overall theme to these changes, we want to revisit some of our other expe...

This Experimental mode is anticipated to be available until early next week.
