Overwatch 2 Winston's Beach Volleyball guide

Running from July 9, 2024 to July 30, 2024, the Winston's Beach Volleyball game mode requires two teams of three players. When you first jump into this game mode, you must select from a pool of Winston's Beach Volleyball heroes.

Overwatch 2 Winston's Beach Volleyball heroes

The available pool of heroes include D.Va, Winston himself, Ashe, Cassidy, Echo, the Shimada brothers, Junkrat, Pharah, Soldier: 76, Sombra, Symmetra, Widowmaker, Baptiste, and Mercy. It's best to assemble a team of heroes who can quickly and easily move across your side of the net. Genji, for example, has his dash. Meanwhile, Echo has flight and Winston has his jump.

How to win Winston's Beach Volleyball

To win in this game mode, your team must score 10 points. This means getting the volleyball to hit the sand on the opponent's side of the net. Use your hero's melee attack to bump or aggressively spike the ball to the other side of the net or to a teammate. The team that scores a goal gets to serve the next volleyball.

What is Ultimate Play in Winston's Beach Volleyball?

When your ultimate reaches 100% and you activate it, you can move faster, jump higher, and hit the volleyball harder. This move is called Ultimate Play. If you don't have this move yet, then you can still jump higher by activating the green launch pads.
