Overwatch 2 - First Time User Experience

In recently posted blog post in the official Overwatch 2 website, the developers announced that new Overwatch players will not be able to use all the heroes in its roster when the game launches. Instead, they will have access to a limited roster and only a handful of game modes.

According to the developers, new players will have to play roughly 100 matches before they unlock the full roster as part of the FTUE.
