Overwatch Patch Notes

Now deals damage to all enemies knocked back instead of only the first target impacted

Radius reduced from 20 to 15 meters
Allied bonus health now decays over its duration
Maximum duration increased from 4 to 5 seconds

Bonus movement speed increased from 40 to 50%

Fire rate reduced from 15 to 14 shots per second

Projectile radius now scales with energy level from 0 up to the previous 0.1 meters

The higher the energy level, the bigger the projectile radius

Charge time reduced from 1.2 seconds to 1 second
Projectile radius increased from 0.4 to 0.5 meters

Cooldown reduced from 16 to 12 seconds

Shield health reduced from 175 to 150 (225 to 200 total max HP)

Fixed a crash affecting some Xbox consoles
Fixed a crash affecting players launching the "Portuguese (Brazil)" language on PS5

Added support for HDR displays when supported hardware is detected
Screenshot Quality now properly respects resolutions above 1x
Improved reflections on water surfaces for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 consoles
Realtime cloud rendering enabled on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 consoles

The final hit that would deplete a Hero’s Armor Pool is now dynamically reduced

For example: Previously if a hero had 1 armor remaining and took 100 incoming damage, that would instead be reduced to 70 damage due to armor. Now, in the same scenario, that hero will take 99 damage

Mercy is no longer automatically launched upward when she reaches her destination
The ability now has a meter that charges up while Guardian Angel is active
Canceling the ability with Jump now launches Mercy in the direction she is facing

The more charge she has, the more launch speed she’ll have when canceling Guardian Angel with Jump

Holding the backward directional input and canceling Guardian Angel launches Mercy in the opposite direction

New ability, temporarily named “Enfeebling Orb” in-game
Replaces Damage Biotic Orb, with a separate cooldown of 16 seconds
Fires a straight moving projectile that explodes in a 3-meter radius on impact of an enemy or environment
Deals 40 impact damage and 10 explosion damage
Enemies affected by Necrotic Orb’s explosion receive the “Weakened” effect, reducing all damage dealt by 75% for 4 seconds

Damage Orb has been replaced by a new ability “Necrotic Orb”

Each orb has its own separate cooldown

Healing Orb capacity decreased from 300 to 250
Cooldown increased from 8 to 10 seconds

Self-healing decreased from 24 to 20 per second

Cooldown increased from 6 to 7 seconds

Fixed a bug where “Leave as Group” was not working as intended
Fixed a bug where using the “Fall back” option in the communication wheel wasn’t functional
Fixed a bug where slider values could not be adjusted quickly when holding down a direction
Fixed a bug where the “Joined Chat Channel” sound would play whenever there was a change in the chat box
Fixed TE-10413 error code at startup when the user has their PlayStation set to a language that OW2 doesn't support

The previous iteration of Guardian Angel led to less control for the player overall, often launching Mercy into danger or out of Resurrect range. This version keeps player intent at the forefront while still allowing for vertical mobility without sacrificing control input simplicity.
Moira’s strengths lie in her extreme survivability, high healing throughput, and consistent damage output, but other supports have at least one utility option or play-making ability. To remedy this, Biotic Orb has been split into two abilities on separate cooldowns: Biotic Orb and Necrotic Orb. Due to Necrotic Orb’s potential to shut down many Ultimates and heavily swing duels in her favor, Moira has also received some compensation nerfs to her overall power.
These patch notes represent general changes made to the Beta version of Overwatch 2. The changes listed impact Quick Play and Custom Games.

Fixed some crashes
Fixed a bug where the hero info screen could get locked over the in-game screen

Welcome to the Overwatch 2 PvP Beta! We have a fresh lineup of heroes, new maps and game modes, 5v5 multiplayer, and more! Please keep in mind that everything you see in the beta is a work in progress. It's important for us to gather valuable feedback and insight from our players, so things are likely going to evolve throughout the beta phases. You may notice some features from Overwatch are absent in the beta. This reflects the game's current work in progress state, and it will change throughout testing! We appreciate everyone's interest, and we can't wait to share more.
To share general beta feedback, please post in the General Beta Feedback forum.
If you encounter any bugs or issues, please share in the Beta Bug Report forum.
You can also share feedback on specific forum topics such as 5v5 , Push , Hero Reworks , New Maps , and Sojourn .
Push is a new game mode available on two brand-new maps: Toronto and Rome. Gameplay unfolds with two opposing teams fighting over control of a single shared objective, the Treadweather TS-1 Large Utility Robot, that starts in the middle of the map.
Each team fights to take control of TS-1 as they would a payload: by having teammates located next to TS-1 with no enemies nearby. When a team takes control of TS-1, it slowly pushes their team’s barricade towards the opposing team’s start location along the predetermined path. If TS-1 and the barricade reach the goal at the end of the path, then the team controlling TS-1 wins the game.
When the opposing team takes control of TS-1, it leaves the first team’s barricade in place and reverses its direction. TS-1 then quickly moves back along the path until it reaches the opposing team’s barricade, which then pushes towards the first team’s spawn.
Midway between TS-1’s starting location and each team’s end goal, there is a forward checkpoint objective along the path. When TS-1 pushes a team’s barricade to their forward checkpoint, that team activates a closer respawn location. This respawn location deactivates if the other team retakes control of TS-1, then moves TS-1 to a point on the path before the forward checkpoint.
Players have 8 minutes to push their team’s barricade to the end goal and win. If neither team’s barricade reaches its end goal after 8 minutes, then the team who pushed their barricade the farthest distance AND has control of TS-1 wins. The game enters overtime if control of TS-1 is contested, or the team who currently has control of TS-1 does not have the farthest distance pushed. Overtime ends when the team with TS-1 loses control of it, or when the team with control of TS-1 pushes their barricade to a distance exceeding the opposition’s.
With the addition of the Push game mode and its new maps to Overwatch, we’ve decided to remove all the maps using the Assault game mode from both the Quick Play and Competitive map rotations.
After examining all our maps and game modes, we noted that the Assault game mode has always been a source of discontent for many members of our community. We believe many of the issues for the Assault maps could only be solved by making major changes to the game mode and major reworks to the maps, resulting in complete level rebuilds. We’ve shifted our focus to create maps in exciting new locations across the world such as Toronto and Rome.
