Enter the ultimate battleground with Stadium mode, an all-new experience where customisation takes the reigns in a fun, best of seven, round based fight. Then, celebrate the launch with the Stadium: Initiation seasonal event to unlock exclusive rewards.

Plus, the relentless bounty hunter Freja arrives as the latest DPS hero, bringing precision and mobility to every match. Meanwhile, the battlefield transforms with stunning skins, from the Dokiwatch team – led by Mythic Heart of Hope Juno – to Legendary Ashe, Genji, Brigitte, Lifeweaver and Mauga in the Premium Battle Pass.

Whether you’re outwitting opponents in Stadium, hunting your prey with Freja, or wielding magic with Dokiwatch, this season is packed with action, strategy and a whole lot more.

Purchase the Battle Pass in-game with 1000 Overwatch Coins.

Know your role

Overwatch 2 hero team roles

Each hero is built around a specific team role - knowing where you need to be and what you need to do will be crucial to your team's success. Victory demands teamwork.

Damage

Damage heroes seek out, engage, and obliterate the enemy with wide-ranging tools, abilities and play styles. Fearsome but fragile, these heroes require backup to survive.

Tank

Tank heroes soak damage and shatter fortified positions, like closely grouped enemies and narrow chokepoints. If you’re a tank, you lead the charge.

Support

Support heroes empower their allies by healing, shielding, boosting damage, and disabling foes. As a support, you’re the backbone of your team’s survival.
