Overwatch 2 Launches Season 20 Midseason Update

  • Showdown Shuffle locks players into a set role but changes their Hero constantly, making fights fresh and unpredictable. Kills, assists, and even eliminations (twice) can trigger swaps. Available January 13 to 26 across Control, Hybrid, Escort, Push, and Flashpoint in 5v5.
  • Quick Play Hacked: Assault returns January 8 to 11, blending nostalgia with modern OW pacing. Returning maps include Temple of Anubis, Namahura, and Volskaya Industries, now with today's Heroes, balance, and more.
  • Join Junkrat's Loot Hunt from January 22 to 25, with a Loot Box reward per match (up to nine Loot Boxes). Free of any daily pressure or strict schedule, players can grind for rewards or go at their own pace through the long weekend.
  • The Magma Titan Doomfist Mythic Skin combines fiery effects with streetwear style, upgradable across four tiers.
  • A Competitive reset comes soon, so make the final push for your ending rank!
  • Drives return from January 30 to February 4, offering a sharp burst of progression.
  • Cosmic OWL Legendary recolor skins arrive with live Esports moments for Widowmaker, Lucio, and Reinhardt. The Shop will also feature the Borealis Collection from January 8 to 19 and the Heist Collection from January 13 to 26. Whether you want to get into the wintry spirit or are feeling a little mischievous, we've got something for you this midseason!
