Ghi chú bản cập nhật Overwatch (Tháng 11 2026)

• This is a hotfix update. Replay codes from the November 3 patch are still available.

General

• Players who did not reach Checkpoint 4 in a previous Competitive Drive should no longer have a signature equipped which they cannot unequip.

Heroes

• In a previous update, fixed an issue where pilot D.Mon would be resurrected without ultimate charge, thereby preventing D.Mon from immediately getting back into her mech.

Stadium

• Fixed an issue where the Scoreboard and related screens would not display properly.

• Taking Reign will be live 11/3 - 12/7. Play games and complete challenges to earn exclusive event rewards or upgrade to earn premium rewards, like a Legendary Doomfist skin and Legendary Vendetta weapon skin. Once purchased, Premium Event Passes can be completed at any time, even after the season/event ends.

• Complete Challenges & Collect Cheer!
• Play matches and complete challenges to earn Cheers from November 24 to December 7.
• Additional Cheers can be earned through watching OWCS World Finals broadcasts on official channels from December 2 through December 6.
• Check out the OWCS World Finals Cheer Rally event page where you can Cheer on the competition. Earn rewards as a thank you for supporting the even - lootboxes, Battle Pass XP, and awesome cosmetics!

• Signature customization allows you to equip any Signatures you earned in previous seasons once you reach the FOURTH checkpoint in the most recent Drive. Reaching the FOURTH Checkpoint in the most recent Team Drive also allows the same type of customization for Player Card Frames. Hurray for color-coded profiles and a chaotically-colored lobby board!

• Junkrat's Loot Hunt returns from 11/19 - 11/23 for a reward-fueled weekend blast, this time with the added bonus of Double XP! Every match you play pushes you closer to Loot Boxes, with flexible challenges that let you go all-in or pace yourself. Plus, progress won't reset, there's no daily pressure, and no nonsense... just explosions, and piles of loot to unbox!

• The Excavation Initiative is back from 11/3-12/7 with some changes! You'll earn Loot Boxes by logging in and winning a game. Do this multiple weeks to earn rewards - Base, Epic, and Legendary Loot Boxes await those who complete the challenges.

Gameplay Sabotage Detection

• We're improving our tools to combat gameplay sabotage in Overwatch. We have made improvements to our current detection tools that allow us to more accurately detect players engaging in disruptive behaviors, and we've already taken action against many players detected by these systems. Examples of gameplay sabotage include consistently and intentionally failing to contribute to team fights, repeatedly jumping off the map, and intentionally blocking team progress. We will also continue to iterate on these detection methods so that we can catch even more players who are intentionally making other players' experiences worse.
• As part of this update, we have also rolled out 'Thank You' messages for reporting a player for disruptive behaviors. You will see these show up in the game's Notification Hub if you report a player for disruptive behaviors, and appropriate actions have been taken against them.

General

• Fixed a bug with Juno's Pureflow and Fearless skins.

D.Mon

Sombra

• Fixed a bug when allied health bars were set to "Contextual".

Wrecking Ball

• Fixed an issue where Wrecking Ball’s Grappling Claw retract controls could greatly increase his rolling movement speed.

New Event - Mystery Mayhem: Graveyard Games

• Ghoulishly Good Challenges
• Complete challenges to collect rewards. Every challenge conquered unearths spooky swag, as well as Offerings you can use in voting.
• Offer Up Your Devotion
• Offerings decide which characters crawl into the Graveyard Games mode next. Earn as many Offerings as you can, and direct them to any of the available heroes you want; you can spread them out, or pledge your allegiance to just one!

New Arcade Gamemode - Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games

• Mystery Madness is our new Halloween Event mode, combining elements of Mystery Heroes, Junkenstein’s Lab, and Stadium. But there's an added twist: you gain Powers when you die. Mystery Madness is 5v5 Open Queue but with guaranteed 1-2-2 Role Composition and has the game format of Best-of-3 Control.
• At the start of a match, you are assigned a random role and given 3 hero choices within that role. If you like to leave your chances up to fate, there is also a random button that will pick between 3 heroes and grant you a small boost.
• Once the match starts, you will gain experience passively and from eliminations and assists. Once you gain enough experience, you will earn a level. When you die or on round transition, you will earn Power Choices, picking between 2 Powers, equal to the number of levels you accumulated since you last died. Powers are similar to Perks or Stadium Items / Powers, and can be either Common, Epic, or Legendary. Commons are comparable to Minor Perks or Rare to Epic Stadium items, and are usually supportive effects. Epics are comparable to Major Perks or Stadium Powers, and are usually the cornerstone of your build. Legendaries go even further beyond, and can lead to some truly crazy combinations. Some standout spooky powers are Jump Scare, which turns you into a Prop while out of combat, letting you flank and frighten your enemies, or Zomnic Summoner, which lets you throw a grenade that summons a Zomnic upon detonation. On death, you will also gain 10% Ultimate Charge and respawn with Overhealth equal to 40% of your Max Life and 30% Move Speed while out of combat.
• Our newest spooky support, Doctrine, will also be playable in Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games!
