Overwatch 2 Patch Notes Season 5

The following are some updates to the latest patch on July 11, 2023.

Summer Games events

In the Summer Games seasonal event, Overwatch 2 users can play Lúcioball, Lúcioball Remix, and Winston's Beach Volleyball. The activity will provide players with various skin rewards such as the new Epic Doomfist skin.

Overwatch 2 also makes changes to the Competitive Team queue. Until the end of season 5, the Team Queue will have no ranking cap.

In terms of maps, this game has improved lighting for several locations, including Blizzard World, Circuit Royale, and Ilios.

General Updates

In the latest update, a bug caused players to get On Fire at the start of a new round in Competitive Play when playing any game mode or in Quick Play when playing Control. On Fire and Blazing are more difficult to achieve early in the round. 

Cooldown On Fire reduced to three seconds. This will prevent most cases where a hero gets On Fire with a delay after a positive contribution. 

Meanwhile, the On Fire Score decreases a little faster when the hero is not On Fire. Maintaining Fire for long periods of time is more difficult.

There is also a new centralized location for event information now available from the main menu, where all event challenges, Rewards, and modes are listed in-game.
