How it’s Played
Overwatch is a complex game involving high-level macro strategy with fast-paced, first-person gameplay. Top players execute their role — tank, damage, or support — in service of the team's ultimate goal.
The Game
Each of a team's six players selects a character. Characters excel in one of three categories: tank, damage, and support. Teams compete across four game modes: Control, Assault, Escort, and Hybrid.
The Action
Each match will be a best-of-five games across four game modes: Control, Assault, Escort, and Hybrid. Teams will battle against one another until either the objective is completed or time runs out.
The Goal
In Control, teams fight to hold a single objective. In Assault, one team fights to capture a series of objectives while their opponents hold them off until time runs out. In Escort, a team escorts a payload to a delivery point while their opponents try to stop them. In Hybrid, players must first capture an objective and then deliver the unlocked payload to its final destination.
