Following the big Overwatch 2 patch that ushered in the return of the 6v6 as an experiment, Blizzard Entertainment has released another Overrwatch 2 patch this December 19, and this is a minor update that’s aimed to resolve hero-related bugs, and other issues.

Console players should see this as Overwatch 2 update 3.92 on PS4/XB1, and version 1.000.056 on PS5/XSX, and this is a small download. There are also no hero balance changes in this patch, as we assume any major gameplay changes are planned to be released sometime in early 2025.

Overwatch 2’s New Update Resolves Various Hero-Related Bugs

Bug Fix Patch

This is a bug fix patch and contains no hero updates. In-Game Replay Codes and Highlights from the previous patch are removed.

Bug Fixes

General

  • Fixed in a previous update an issue which was preventing queueing for the Yeti Hunter game mode

Heroes

Brigitte

  • Fixed an issue with Brigitte’s Medic skin not appearing in the Hero Gallery and being able to be equipped.

Hazard

  • Fixed an issue with the confirmation prompts for Hazard’s Jagged Wall when turning preplacement controls to “On”
  • Fixed an issue preventing Hazard’s Jagged Wall ability from being placed on the destructible ground in Petra.
  • Fixed an issue with Hazards Golden Weapon Variant, which is now available.

Juno

  • Fixed in a previous update an issue where Juno’s Orbital Ray could stack the damage boost on a subset of heroes.

Lifeweaver

  • Fixed in a previous update an issue with Lifeweaver’s Healing Blossom projectile preventing it from curving.

Mauga

  • Fixed in a previous update an issue with Mauga’s gameplay in Freeze Flash elimination is now available to play in that mode again.

Sojourn

  • Fixed an issue with Sojourn’s Disruptor shot not providing the correct damage.

Sombra

  • Fixed in a previous update an issue where Sombra could hack a friendly Lifeweaver Petal Platform

We expect another patch to be rolled out next month. Hopefully, Blizzard considered making the 6v6 mode a permanent thing in the game. It’s high time the studio listened to its player base, especially now that NetEase seems bent on taking Blizzard’s lunch money with Marvel Rivals.
