Overwatch 2 gave us plenty of design overhauls and added content, which can be enjoyed by players old and new. Learn more about what new features and changes Blizzard made in their new game.
List of Contents
Free-to-Play Model
This is perhaps the biggest notable change in the game. Blizzard's decision is a big step up to counter their rival games such as Valorant and Fortnite. This change will allow a significant increase in their player base. It's not all fun and games as Blizzard has a few compromises.
The Battle Pass
The Battle Pass is the new system that allows players to earn rewards by completing challenges and activities. The Battle Pass also offers new heroes such as Kiriko and other new type of cosmetics like Mythic Skin.

More Cosmetics
Overwatch 2 offers various new cosmetics, such as souvenirs, which a hero can hold in an emote-like pose, and weapon charms, which can be attached to the heroes' weapons. Overwatch 2 also introduced a new type of skin rank called "Mythic".
New 5v5 Multiplayer
Overwatch 2 introduced 5v5, or two teams of five players each, made up of one tank, two support heroes, and two damage heroes. Unlike in the old Overwatch, which had 6v6 multiplayer or two teams of six players.
New Mode
Overwatch 2 introduced Push mode. In Push, teams will compete on a symmetrical map to take control of a robot in the middle of the map. A team can advance the robot towards enemy lines by staying within its perimeter, making sure the enemy team does not contest it by getting too close.

Hero Changes and New Roles
Almost all of the heroes got minor changes in their appearance and traits. The most notable ones are Doomfist, who is a tank now; Mercy's ability to ressurect allies without using her ultimate; and lastly, Bastion losing his turret mode.
