Overwatch 2’s Season 20 update will launch on January 8th, which is a Thursday – a change from the usual Tuesday releases. Megan Leigh, a community manager for the game, announced the date on social media.

Overwatch 2 Season 20 mid-season patch notes
The next update will include turrets designed to prevent players from camping near spawn points on all Stadium maps. This update was announced by senior game designer Miranda Nicola in a video last December.
Our team has identified a problem where one team could unfairly dominate matches by repeatedly waiting at the enemy’s spawn point. To address this, we’re adding turrets to all Stadium maps. These turrets will give players more protection and time to get back into the action after being eliminated.
