Overwatch 2 is Experimenting With a New Quick Play Mode This Weekend
Blizzard has announced that the Quick Play mode in Overwatch 2, for this weekend, will be changed into Quick Play: Hacked – Quicker Play. For this weekend, the new mode, inspired by Sombra, features faster capture speeds, payloads, and respawn times. Check out the full list of changes for the new game mode below.
In an FAQ, the studio states that it wanted to test the new game mode in a limited time window to get a better understanding about what Overwatch 2 players enjoy about Quick Play mode. As for why the mode replaces Quick Play rather than being an option in the game’s Arcade mode, the studio says that Quick Play: Hacked affects the core gameplay of Overwatch 2‘s main mode while still aiming for a more balanced experience.
Currently, players won’t be able to access Quick Play for this weekend without setting up a custom game with the right rules and inviting other players. Until January 13, Quick Play: Hacked will be the only option for matchmaking. The regular Quick Play mode will return on January 14.
Overwatch 2 recently also saw a patch release that brought nerfs to Mauga and Roadhog, while still bringing buffs to other characters like Orisa, Illari and Lifeweaver.
