Overwatch 2

Whenever a popular new game or expansion comes out and there's an influx of players trying to check it out for the first time, queues are inevitable.

Overwatch 2 is finally out — the wait was very long, but the PVP experience of the game is now playable, with its three new heroes (Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko), a new game mode, several new maps, and an assortment of other changes, including the shift from 6v6 to 5v5 -- which is actually far more impactful than it may sound.

Overwatch 2 is releasing with several new base skins for the old heroes, in addition to some exciting new ones available in the Battle Pass and the Watchpoint Pack.

Season 1 of Overwatch 2's Premium Battle Pass has a ton of cyberpunk-themed rewards on offer for players -- provided you work or pay your way through 80 tiers of play first.

A new hybrid map called Paraíso is coming in Overwatch 2.

Today Overwatch brings down its servers forever.

We thought that the final Overwatch Anniversary Remix event would be the final opportunity to spend in-game money on cosmetics, but Blizzard is opening up the vault one last time for the Overwatch Credits Last Chance Event from September 13 through October 2.
