Overwatch® Patch Notes — October 28, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Stadium evolves again, adding Torbjörn, Hazard, and Sojourn to the hero roster. The new Busan Sanctuary Control map brings a haunted temple vibe to the playground rotation. A full seasonal rank reset raises the stakes, with the All-Star Cassidy skin as the prize for the best competitors. Gadgets, Armory upgrades, Combat Text, and the Advanced Info Panel make the system smarter, sleeker, and scarier than ever – for your competition.
