    Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes will also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and therefore will only reflect changes coming specifically to that platform.

    Patch Highlights

    New Map - Busan
    Travel to Busan, South Korea and battle for control across three distinct locales within one map: Sanctuary, Downtown, and MEKA Base.

    Explore the serene setting of the Sanctuary, surrounded by an ancient temple, beautiful gardens, and historic architecture. Clash in the bustling metropolis of Downtown, where players will fight across a busy PC bang, flashy karaoke bar, and central light rail station (just watch out for the train). Contest for position in MEKA Base—home of South Korea’s frontline defense against the gwishin omnic attacks: D.Va and the rest of the MEKA squad.

    Hero Gallery - Filter
    View all of the cosmetics Overwatch has to offer with our new Filter feature in the Hero Gallery. Customize your search for cosmetics by category (including seasonal events or whether they're from the Overwatch League), rarity, and whether they are unlocked or waiting to be collected.

    Hero Updates
    Ana
    • Biotic Rifle
      • Increased the precision of the Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed slider. This can be found under Options > Controls > Hero > Ana

    Brigitte
    • Shield Bash
      • Now knocks down and gets knocked down by other charging targets (e.g Reinhardt and Doomfist)

    Reinhardt
    • Earthshatter
      • Now will consistently hit enemies near walls
      • No longer will hit enemies that enter the damage cone after the “wave” has passed that area
      • No longer will damage enemies behind barriers blocking it, even if the barrier is later dropped or destroyed
      • Will always travel up inclines and around the payload
    Developer Comments: We’ve given Earthshatter a complete overhaul to combat inconsistencies with its performance. These changes will make Earthshatter’s behavior more predictable and effective.
