Time for more fun in the sun! ☀️ Overwatch Summer Games is NOW LIVE! ⚽: https://t.co/z5BI8kkDUD https://t.co/r6yYiTcF3o
Hi everyone-
Pardon our dust! The ability to scale heroes and barriers isn’t going live in the 1.51 update. We’ve identified some parts of the tech that need to be improved before it’s ready for primetime. Thank you for the awesome and creative stuff that’s been made on the PTR so far. We’re still working to get the feature to the live servers as soon it’s ready!
A new patch is now live on Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Read below to learn more about the latest changes.

LÚCIOBALL REMIXLúcioball Remix is the wildest way to play Lúcioball yet. With two balls in play at once, plus periodic Bonus Balls worth three points each, scores will skyrocket and astounding plays will be made. Will you keep up, or will the barrage of balls break your brain?
Lúcioball Gameplay Updates
Priority Requeue for Backfilled Games
If you join a game after it has started to replace a player who has previously left, you are considered to have “backfilled” into that game. After finishing a game where you backfill, you are now granted a priority requeue the next time you queue to play. You will see a small icon on the interface to denote this status. When you queue for a game with priority requeue status, the matchmaker tries to prioritize finding an appropriate game for you. This normally results in significantly lower times waiting in queue.
CUSTOM GAMES UPDATESLopsided Teams
Further customize how many players can be on each team in a custom game. While games are still limited to 12 players in total, you are now able to choose any number of slots on Team 1 and Team 2. For Workshop users, this affects how many dummy bots can spawn on each team. If the total number of player slots is 12, that defines how many dummy bots can spawn on each team (e.g. a 4v8 mode would allow for 4 dummy bots on one team and 8 on the other). If the total number of player slots is less than 12, additional dummy bots may be added to either team as long as the total number of players is within 12 (e.g. a 4v0 mode would allow up to 8 additional dummy bots on either team). We’re excited to see what asymmetrical game modes you all come up with!
COMPETITIVE UPDATESModification to High SR Grouping Restrictions
To match the new maximum SR of 3900 a player can achieve after finishing placements, you can no longer queue for Competitive Play in a group with more than 2 players if any player in the party is 3900 SR or higher.
WORKSHOP UPDATESNew Workshop Actions
Developer Comment: The Workshop Setting values allow you to expose tunable values of your script to their own special section in the Custom Game Settings. With these settings, you can specify the min, max, default, and types of data (Integer, Real, Toggle) you’d like to expose to users. If one or more of these values are used in your script, a new autogenerated Workshop Settings card will appear in the settings menu, allowing you to tweak these value overrides prior to launching the game mode.
