Overwatch 2 player progression system: How it works

Overwatch 2 Season 6 introduced a new progression system that rewards players based on how they approach the game. Read on for our guide on how the player progression system works in Overwatch 2.

The progression system tracks and celebrates your playstyle among different game modes, heroes, and roles. The system also features sub-badges that showcase these three different aspects of your gameplay.

"Badges will be displayed in places that show off the heroes you play, such as the Play of the Game highlight," according to Blizzard. "Your player progression level will also proudly be displayed in the overview of your career profile as well. Also, be sure to enable your Career Profile to public view if you want to show off your achievements to any players you encounter!"
