Blizzard just announced that player-versus-player (PvP) mode in Overwatch 2 will get some groundbreaking changes. The announcement teased that the changes will redefine Overwatch 2 in ways players have never seen before. Here's everything that we know so far.
Overwatch 2 Spotlight teases major PvP gameplay updates
According to Blizzard, there will be a livestream event happening on Feb. 12. Known as "Overwatch 2 Spotlight," this stream will go live at 10 a.m. and break down the major PvP updates for Overwatch 2 in 2025.
"Spotlight will not only unpack changes to how the game is played, but it'll provide a look at new heroes, maps, and even more content coming to the game starting this February and beyond," Blizzard stated.
Folks who tune in will also be able to unlock the Lucio Cyber DJ skin for free through Twitch drops. The requirement will involve watching one hour of a partnered content creator's stream on Feb. 12.
This will be a nice freebie for players who were eyeing the same skin in the Jan. 28 to Feb. 4 Overwatch 2 shop rotation. The skin, which was part of the Cyber Fiend Bundle, got removed from the shop rotation on Jan. 31.
Additionally, according to OWCavalry on X, "Players who purchased the Cyber DJ Lucio skin have been fully refunded!" OWCavalry also reported that the Flirty Flare Baptiste skin is "now an additional drop for the Spotlight event."
