Overwatch is Blizzard Entertainment’s free-to-play 5v5 hero shooter. Each player chooses a Tank, Damage, or Support hero with a distinctive weapon, movement style, and ability kit, then works around map objectives rather than chasing eliminations alone. Players can switch heroes during a match to answer the opposing team or change strategy. Quick Play and Competitive use the core objective formats, while Stadium and rotating arcade or seasonal modes change pacing and team construction. Cross-play and cross-progression connect supported platforms, and regular seasons add heroes, maps, balance updates, events, and cosmetics.
