Overwatch

Overwatch is a free-to-play first-person hero shooter. Players choose from a large roster of role-based heroes and compete in 5v5 team matches across various objective-based game modes, with both casual and ranked competitive play. Originally released as Overwatch 2 as a successor to the 2016 original, the game was rebranded to simply Overwatch in 2026. The roster has more than 30 heroes in three roles. Tank heroes soak up damage and break fortified positions. Damage heroes find and defeat enemies with a wide range of abilities, but are fragile and need backup. Support heroes heal and shield allies, boost damage and disable enemies. Each match is 5v5, so a team has one tank. Matches are played on maps around the world in Quick Play and Competitive. The game is a live service with seasons, and each season adds new heroes and an Event Pass with rewards and cosmetics. Cross-play lets friends group up regardless of platform, and unlocks and progress carry across platforms and devices.
