Over­watch is a team-based first-per­son shooter game de­vel­oped by Bliz­zard En­ter­tain­ment and re­leased in May 2016 for sev­eral plat­forms. The game fea­tures a num­ber of game­play modes that sup­port ca­sual play, ranked play, and com­pet­i­tive modes used for pro­fes­sional es­ports events, such as the Over­watch League . A se­quel, Over­watch 2 , was an­nounced in 2019 and will in­clude new player ver­sus en­vi­ron­ment (PvE) co-op­er­a­tive mul­ti­player modes, in ad­di­tion to player ver­sus player (PvP) modes avail­able from the orig­i­nal game.

Over­watch fea­tures squad-based com­bat with two op­pos­ing teams of six play­ers each. [1] Play­ers choose one of sev­eral hero char­ac­ters, each with their own unique abil­i­ties and role classes. The three char­ac­ter roles in­clude: dam­age char­ac­ters that have pow­er­ful at­tacks to lead at­tacks or de­fend con­trol points and choke points , sup­port char­ac­ters that pro­vide buffs and de­buffs for their al­lies and en­e­mies re­spec­tively (such as heal­ing or speed al­ter­ations), and tank char­ac­ters that have a large amount of armor and hit points to with­stand enemy at­tacks and draw fire away from teammates. [a] Dur­ing the pre-match setup, play­ers on a team will be given ad­vice from the game if their team is un­bal­anced, such as if they are lack­ing de­fen­sive he­roes, en­cour­ag­ing play­ers to switch to other he­roes pre-match and bal­ance the start­ing team. [3] Within a match, play­ers can switch be­tween char­ac­ters in-game fol­low­ing deaths or by re­turn­ing to their home base. The game is de­signed to en­cour­age play­ers to adapt to the op­pos­ing team dur­ing a match by switch­ing to char­ac­ters that bet­ter "counter" their abilities. [4] [5] As part of a major up­date across both reg­u­lar play­ers of Over­watch and Over­watch ' es­ports leagues to launch in Sep­tem­ber 2019, Bliz­zard in­tro­duced a "Role Queue" for quick play and com­pet­i­tive modes, re­quir­ing the player to se­lect one of dam­age, sup­port, or tank roles for the du­ra­tion of a game, though freely able to switch be­tween he­roes in that role, so that in match­mak­ing, teams will be made up of two of each roles. [6] [7] From Feb­ru­ary through June 2020, Bliz­zard ran its com­pet­i­tive sea­sons using a "hero pool" me­chanic, where only a se­lec­tion of he­roes will be avail­able to play each week sim­i­lar to League of Leg­ends , to eval­u­ate using it in the long term. [8] How­ever, after this point, Bliz­zard found that the hero pool ap­proach was not nec­es­sary to main­tain bal­ance for char­ac­ters, in­stead being able to use other modes, such as an ex­per­i­men­tal card mode, to test bal­ance ad­just­ments that were later brought to the main game, and dropped the hero pool ap­proach save for the Over­watch League. [9]

Each hero has a pri­mary abil­ity and at least two ad­di­tional abil­i­ties that can be in­voked at any time, some re­quir­ing a brief cooldown pe­riod be­fore they can be used again. Fur­ther­more, each player slowly builds up a meter to­wards their char­ac­ter's "ul­ti­mate" abil­ity; this meter builds up over time but can build up faster for de­feat­ing op­po­nents or per­form­ing other ben­e­fi­cial tasks for their team such as heal­ing other team mem­bers. Once ready, the player can use this abil­ity at any time which may last for a few sec­onds (such as in­creased at­tack strength or im­mu­nity to at­tacks) or be a sin­gle pow­er­ful ac­tion (such as throw­ing a small ex­plo­sive), after which they then must wait for the meter to fill up again. Op­pos­ing play­ers will be alerted to the use of this ul­ti­mate abil­ity by an ex­cla­ma­tion from the char­ac­ter, often in the char­ac­ter's na­tive lan­guage; for ex­am­ple, when using his "Dead­eye" abil­ity gun­slinger Mc­Cree will call out "It's high noon" as the player en­gages the ul­ti­mate abil­ity to tar­get mul­ti­ple vis­i­ble en­e­mies and deal lethal dam­age to those still in sight. This gives op­pos­ing play­ers a brief mo­ment to try to take cover or re­spond appropriately. [10]

A sec­ond meter tracks how many in-round points a player has scored over time, which are re­warded for killing or as­sist­ing in killing, pro­vid­ing team de­fense or heal­ing, and scor­ing ob­jec­tive points. When a cer­tain thresh­old is reached, the player char­ac­ter's icon will be "on fire," rep­re­sent­ing that that char­ac­ter is a threat, but oth­er­wise does not di­rectly af­fect gameplay. [11] This meter will slowly drop if the player does not con­tinue to score points.

Over­watch em­ploys an au­to­mated in­stant re­play sys­tem, de­signed to high­light im­por­tant mo­ments of the game. After the game's end, the server se­lects a frag­ment of the match which had a large im­pact on the game's pro­gres­sion, such as a rapid suc­ces­sion of kills or an ef­fec­tive use of team heal­ing, and then broad­casts it to all play­ers from the point of view of the player re­spon­si­ble for it. This is called a "Play of the Game" (often ab­bre­vi­ated to "PotG"), [12] or "Play of the Match" ("PotM") in com­pet­i­tive games that have longer matches. Af­ter­wards, a re­sult screen is shown, high­light­ing up to four in­di­vid­ual play­ers from both teams for their achieve­ments dur­ing the match (such as dam­age dealt, healed or shielded, or time spent on the ob­jec­tive), and all play­ers are given the op­tion to com­mend one of them. Fol­low­ing a June 2018 patch, play­ers can also give out up to three en­dorse­ments to any other player in the match based on lead­er­ship, team­work, or sports­man­ship. Such en­dorse­ments boost ex­pe­ri­ence gained by the re­ceiv­ing play­ers, and fac­tors into match­mak­ing, fa­vor­ing play­ers that con­tinue to get endorsements. [2] A cus­tom re­play sys­tem, au­to­mat­i­cally stor­ing a player's last ten games in each game mode and with nu­mer­ous cam­era and po­si­tion­ing fea­tures, was in­tro­duced into the "Pub­lic Test Re­gion" (PTR), a spe­cial set of servers where up­com­ing patches can be tested by any player, in May 2019, [13] and re­leased for all servers in June 2019. [14]

Play­ers gain ex­pe­ri­ence points fol­low­ing a match to­wards a metagame level based on sev­eral fac­tors such as whether they won or lost, how ef­fec­tively they used their char­ac­ter's pow­ers, being awarded gold, sil­ver, or bronze medals for their team across six cat­e­gories such as most time spent on the ob­jec­tives; and beat­ing past per­sonal records in these cat­e­gories. Ini­tially, ex­pe­ri­ence was only awarded when play­ing the game's match­mak­ing modes and not cus­tom games, but the cus­tom server browser up­date, re­leased in Feb­ru­ary 2017, en­abled ex­pe­ri­ence gains for cus­tom games. Each ex­pe­ri­ence level earns a player a loot box , which con­tain four ran­dom cos­metic items for in­di­vid­ual he­roes, in­clud­ing vic­tory poses, paint sprays, al­ter­nate skins (cos­tumes), emotes and voice lines. Items are given out based on their rar­ity level, with "Com­mon", "Epic", and "Leg­endary" tiers. Loot boxes may con­tain in-game cur­rency called "cred­its", which can be used to pur­chase spe­cific cos­metic items di­rectly, with their cost based on the item's rarity. [15] Du­pli­cate items are re­warded with in-game cur­rency. Other items can only be ac­quired by com­plet­ing in-game achieve­ments . Play­ers have the op­tion to buy loot boxes with real-world money through mi­cro­trans­ac­tions .

Char­ac­ters in Over­watch come in three va­ri­eties: Dam­age, Tank, and Support. [a] These roles serve to cat­e­go­rize the he­roes by sim­i­lar char­ac­ter­is­tics that can be used to de­scribe them and their play style. The game shows tips to the play­ers de­pend­ing on which he­roes have been se­lected; e.g., the team will rec­om­mend that a player se­lects a Sup­port hero if there are none on the team.

In stan­dard and com­pet­i­tive play, and in some of the spe­cial Ar­cade modes, maps are ran­domly se­lected for the match. Each Over­watch map has a spe­cific game mode that it sup­ports, which include: [19]

Each mode in­cludes an "over­time" pe­riod that gives the at­tack­ing team ad­di­tional time to com­plete an ob­jec­tive once nor­mal time ex­pires, as long as at least one mem­ber of the at­tack­ing team is ac­tively on or near the ob­jec­tive through­out the over­time pe­riod. The at­tack­ing team has a brief pe­riod of time to re­turn to the ob­jec­tive if they leave or are knocked away from it, with that grace time di­min­ish­ing as over­time pro­ceeds.

Other game maps exist in the game's Ar­cade modes or can be cre­ated through cus­tom games. These in­clude:

The cus­tom server op­tions en­able play­ers to cre­ate ad­di­tional game modes not read­ily clas­si­fied under the ex­ist­ing modes; for ex­am­ple, play­ers can cre­ate 6 ver­sus 1 set­tings, where one team must try to de­feat a sin­gle player who is sig­nif­i­cantly over­pow­ered com­pared to stan­dard char­ac­ters.

Over­watch 2 will in­tro­duce co­op­er­a­tive player-ver­sus-en­vi­ron­men­tal mis­sions where four play­ers work against com­puter-con­trolled op­po­nents. There are two main types of these missions: [20] [26]

Over­watch was re­leased with 12 maps, but new maps have been added over time. Like new he­roes, these maps are usu­ally in­tro­duced first within the Pub­lic Test Re­gion (PTR), al­low­ing play­ers to opt-in to help test and pro­vide feed­back on the maps. Once Bliz­zard feels the map is ready, it is then added to all game­play re­gions, en­ter­ing into nor­mal ca­sual map ro­ta­tion and often fea­tured in a spe­cial Ar­cade mode for a week or so. New maps are not in­tro­duced im­me­di­ately into com­pet­i­tive mode; though Bliz­zard had pre­vi­ously waited until the com­ple­tion of a com­pet­i­tive mode sea­son to in­tro­duce a map, as of May 2018 they now plan to add new maps into the com­pet­i­tive mode ro­ta­tion two weeks fol­low­ing their global in­tro­duc­tion into ca­sual play. [27]

The maps are typ­i­cally de­signed to sup­port por­tions of the Over­watch nar­ra­tive, which fol­lows from thirty years after a ro­botic up­ris­ing, the Omnic Cri­sis, oc­curred in Earth's near fu­ture. The cri­sis was re­solved by the Over­watch agency, which af­ter­ward was dis­banded. In the game's pre­sent, with a threat of an­other Omnic Cri­sis and ap­pear­ance of sev­eral shad­owy groups, the mem­bers of Over­watch have re­joined forces. Most of the game's maps are in­spired by real-world locations. [28] The first four maps, "King's Row", "Hana­mura", "Tem­ple of Anu­bis", and "Ilios" are in­spired by Lon­don , Japan , the ruins of An­cient Egypt , and Greece re­spec­tively. [5] Dur­ing sea­sonal events, cer­tain maps may be re­dec­o­rated for the event's theme, but oth­er­wise re­tain the fun­da­men­tal lay­outs, such as Hal­loween up­dates for the Hol­ly­wood and Eichen­wald maps dur­ing the "Hal­loween Ter­ror" events. [29]

Start­ing in No­vem­ber 2019, Bliz­zard im­ple­mented a map pool that lim­its the num­ber of avail­able maps in each mode for com­pet­i­tive play (and which also ap­plied to the pro­fes­sional com­pe­ti­tions like Over­watch League). This al­lows Bliz­zard to cu­rate maps that are not presently in the pool based on player feed­back and other ob­ser­va­tions with­out dis­rupt­ing the com­pet­i­tive sea­sons. These maps oth­er­wise re­main avail­able for the var­i­ous Quick­play and Ar­cade options. [30]

Over­watch shipped with three As­sault maps, with two ad­di­tional As­sault map added since re­lease.

Over­watch shipped with three Es­cort maps and since added three ad­di­tional ones.

Over­watch shipped with three Hy­brid maps and has added two since.

Three con­trol maps were shipped with Over­watch and two have been added since.

Arena maps were added to Over­watch to sup­port var­i­ous causal game modes, in par­tic­u­lar matches fea­tur­ing three-ver­sus-three play­ers but can be re-pur­posed for other modes. These maps are much smaller in ef­fec­tive area than other game­play modes.

These are maps that have been added to sup­port spe­cific game­play modes not oth­er­wise iden­ti­fied above.

Over­watch fea­tures sev­eral means of game­play, in­clud­ing tu­to­ri­als and prac­tice modes against com­puter-con­trolled op­po­nents, ca­sual match­mak­ing, weekly brawls, cus­tom games, and com­pet­i­tive play. [55] Over­watch al­lows play­ers to group up prior to start­ing most of the team modes with friends, or can join a group after fin­ish­ing a match. With a June 2018 patch, Over­watch also al­lows play­ers cre­ate open groups based on cer­tain re­quire­ments, such as fixed char­ac­ter roles or de­sired game­play type, with other play­ers able to find such groups via the same criteria. [2]

Ca­sual match­mak­ing al­lows play­ers, alone, or in a party with in­vited friends, to be ran­domly matched against oth­ers in Quick­play mode. The game servers will at­tempt to match the gath­ered play­ers in party via a dy­namic queue with oth­ers based on gen­eral skill level, only broad­en­ing out­side this search range if it takes a long time to find match­ing players. [56] With the "Role Queue" up­date in Sep­tem­ber 2019, play­ers will need to queue up in one of the three roles or form groups that do not ex­ceed these roles be­fore start­ing a match, while a new "Quick­play Clas­sic" Ar­cade mode will be added with­out the role lock­ing requirements. [6] Bliz­zard works to ad­just this match­mak­ing ap­proach to mak­ing sure play­ers will find matches of peo­ple with roughly equiv­a­lent skill level. For ex­am­ple, in June 2016, Bliz­zard re­moved the op­tion for play­ers to avoid spe­cific op­po­nents; the op­tion was meant for play­ers to be able ig­nore trolls , but in­stead found that highly skilled play­ers were being put on these avoid­ance lists and were hav­ing dif­fi­culty find­ing games or would be matched with new and less-skilled players. [57]

Over­watch was launched with a ro­tat­ing Weekly Brawl mode, in­spired by Hearth­stone ' s Tav­ern Brawls. [58] These matches fea­tured unique rules, such as play­ers forced to play a spe­cific hero or a spe­cific class of hero, or may force a ran­dom hero on the player each time they respawn; as the mode's name sug­gests, these Brawls would change weekly. [58] The Weekly Brawl was merged into an Ar­cade mode on No­vem­ber 15, 2016. Ar­cade mode fea­tures a ro­tat­ing va­ri­ety of games based on all game modes, and from which play­ers can earn unique in-game items or loot boxes. [59] [60] [61] Dur­ing sea­sonal events , these Ar­cade modes may fea­ture unique game modes for that event, such as a three-on-three soc­cer -type game dur­ing the 2016 Sum­mer Olympics , [62] a co-op­er­a­tive player-ver­sus-en­vi­ron­ment de­fense mode dur­ing the game's first Hal­loween event, [63] and a Cap­ture the Flag mode as part of the 2017 Chi­nese New Year event. [25]

Cus­tom games en­able play­ers to have open or pri­vate games with sev­eral pos­si­ble op­tions that can be ad­justed, such as match length, which maps to play, lim­i­ta­tions on char­ac­ter se­lec­tion, and sim­i­lar op­tions that are used to cre­ate the Weekly Brawl or Ar­cade matches. An up­date first re­leased in April 2019 in­tro­duced the Work­shop, a means to use sim­i­lar script­ing tools that Bliz­zard has avail­able to fur­ther cus­tomize game op­tions or mod­ify how he­roes work in cus­tom games. [64] When ini­tially re­leased, cus­tom games did not allow play­ers to gain ex­pe­ri­ence points. Bliz­zard has since al­lowed ex­pe­ri­ence to be earned in cus­tom games with safe­guards to pre­vent play­ers idling for ex­pe­ri­ence points . [65] [66] [67] [68]

Com­pet­i­tive mode al­lows play­ers seg­re­gated by both re­gion and plat­form to play in ranked matches to try to ad­vance in their skill rank­ing (SR) as high as pos­si­ble dur­ing 2-to-3 month long com­pet­i­tive sea­sons. Com­pet­i­tive matches uses the same rules as the pro­fes­sional Over­watch League . Prior to the Sep­tem­ber 2019 "Role Queue" up­date, play­ers must play 10 matches at the start of a new sea­son to de­ter­mine their skill rank­ing, a com­bi­na­tion of their win/loss/draw record, their pre­vi­ous sea­son's per­for­mance, and their own per­for­mance with the var­i­ous he­roes over the 10 matches. Fol­low­ing the "Role Queue" up­date, play­ers get three sep­a­rate skill rank­ing for each of the three roles, and only re­quire 5 games in that role at the start of the sea­son to quan­tify the skill rat­ing for that role. [6]

Once a player has a skill rank­ing, all com­pet­i­tive matches are played using match­mak­ing with play­ers near sim­i­lar skill lev­els, and one's skill rank­ing will rise or fall upon win­ning or los­ing a match, re­spec­tively; draws do not af­fect the skill rank­ing. One's skill rank­ing de­ter­mines which of six tiers they are in, with end-of-sea­son re­wards given out based on the high­est tier that one achieved that sea­son. Those in the high­est tiers, Mas­ter and Grand­mas­ter, must con­tinue to play matches to main­tain their po­si­tion within those tiers or will have their skill rank drop if they are in­ac­tive. Win­ning or draw­ing a match earns play­ers "com­pet­i­tive points", a sep­a­rate form of in-game cur­rency that can be used to buy "golden weapons" for a se­lected hero. Bliz­zard con­tin­ues to mon­i­tor how com­pet­i­tive play works out and has tweaked var­i­ous as­pects of the sys­tem through­out sea­sons in re­sponse to player feedback. [69] [56] [70]

Over­watch ' s nor­mal com­pet­i­tive mode is lim­ited to the map types of Con­trol, As­sault, Es­cort, and Hy­brid. Con­trol maps are played in a best-of-three matchup, with teams vying to take a cen­tral con­trol point. Once a team takes con­trol of a point, by clear­ing all op­po­nents from the point for a short pe­riod of time, they must de­fend the point as their per­cent­age of con­trol of the point slowly in­creases to­wards 100%. If the op­pos­ing team can clear the de­fend­ers and keep the point clear, they then take con­trol, though the orig­i­nal team re­tains its per­cent­age of con­trol it had. Once a team reaches 99% of the con­trol needed, they must clear the op­pos­ing team from the point to com­plete 100% cap­ture and take the round.

The other three map types, As­sault, Es­cort, and Hy­brid, are based on one team at­tack­ing to take con­trol points and/or move a pay­load through check­points within a lim­ited amount of time, while the other team de­fends against these. Games on these maps are played in at least two rounds, with teams switch­ing roles be­tween the at­tack­ing and de­fend­ing teams be­tween these rounds. One team is ran­domly se­lected to start as the at­tack­ing team, and is scored based on how many check­points they have cap­tured/passed and if they can­not com­pletely cap­ture the next check­point or es­cort the pay­load, how close they were to their next ob­jec­tive. This lat­ter is based on the max­i­mum per­cent­age of con­trol they had of the con­trol point or the far­thest the pay­load was moved; how­ever, teams must take at least one-third of a con­trol point to get credit for that, oth­er­wise their score is treated as if they had not taken any of it. If the team suc­cess­fully com­pletes all ob­jec­tives, then the time re­main­ing (the "time bank") is recorded.

In the sec­ond round, the at­tack­ing and de­fend­ing teams' roles are switched. If the first at­tack­ing team com­pleted all ob­jec­tives, the sec­ond team must do so as well to at least tie up the match. Oth­er­wise, the new at­tack­ing team is shown the score they must beat via the game's in­ter­face and on the map. If they suc­ceed, they win the match, and fail­ure to at least match that score is a loss. If both teams end up with the same score but with no time re­main­ing in their time banks, the match is con­sid­ered a draw. Oth­er­wise, ad­di­tional sud­den death matches are played to try to break the tie. The tiebreaker rules de­pend on the map type, but gen­er­ally, these have each team have an op­por­tu­nity to play as the at­tack­ing team, start­ing with what time re­mains in their time bank, to at­tempt to get the best score pos­si­ble; in these sud­den death rounds, no time bonus is granted when reach­ing any check­point. Mul­ti­ple se­ries of sud­den death rounds may be needed if both teams suc­ceed in com­plet­ing all ob­jec­tives while still hav­ing time re­main­ing.

Over­watch has run short-term com­pet­i­tive sea­sons for other game modes typ­i­cally as part of the sea­sonal events. This has in­cluded Lu­cioball, Cap­ture the Flag, Death­match, Team Death­match, and Elim­i­na­tion. The ap­proach to these are sim­i­lar as with nor­mal com­pet­i­tive modes, re­quir­ing play­ers to com­plete ten matches to gain a rank­ing, which is then used for fu­ture match­mak­ing and can be in­creased or de­creased based on the out­come of a match.
