The mid-season update for Overwatch 2 Season 16 will drop soon, meaning a new set of patch notes is also due. This update should bring not only new content like the cosmetics for the Street Fighter 6 collaboration, but also changes to the gameplay.
While we wait for more information, here is everything we know about the upcoming update for the hero shooter.
Release date
The mid-season patch for Overwatch 2 Season 16 is scheduled to come out on Tuesday, May 20th at 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM BST). PC players will be able to preload the update a few days before its release to have everything ready.
What do we know about the patch notes?
The patch notes for the Overwatch 2 Season 16 mid-season update should be posted a day before its release or at the same time it comes out.
However, the developers have already confirmed that Freja will be introduced in Stadium once this patch comes out. She will be the first hero to be added to the game's newest ladder.
Apart from that, we can only speculate about the changes this patch will implement. For starters, we can expect many tweaks to the different heroes' abilities and perks.
The patch could also bring some quality-of-life adjustments, UI improvements, and small adjustments to other areas of the game. Something always present in an update is bug fixes, so expect a bunch of them here.
Once the full patch notes for the mid-season update are out, we will update this article to add all the information so you can have it in one place.
