Overwatch 2 Stadium crossplay is on the horizon alongside unranked mode

BBG News

As an enthusiastic gamer, I’m excitedly anticipating the potential arrival of crossplay in the stadium of Overwatch 2, possibly debuting alongside an unranked mode. Moreover, Blizzard has hinted at implementing a feature that allows us, the players, to share our unique Stadium build creations with one another, enriching the gameplay experience even further!

Overwatch 2 could potentially enable friends on various devices to team up and play together, as suggested by Blizzard Entertainment. This news was shared in the latest blog post from the game’s director. Furthermore, Blizzard also provided information about what we can expect in Seasons 17, 18, 19, and further updates, and hinted at plans for PC and console players to form teams.

Overwatch 2 Stadium crossplay for PC and console

The Overwatch 2 developers are considering a casual version of the Stadium game mode that allows friends to play together. This might also result in additional adjustments like a best-of-five series (Bo5). At present, Stadium is set up with a best-of-seven (Bo7) format, where the team that first wins four maps emerges victorious in the match.

In regards to the ongoing limitation of crossplay in Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode, Blizzard Entertainment has explained that as this mode adheres to its primary competitive rules, it does not currently allow for collaboration between players on PC and consoles.

The post mentioned that you’ve expressed your opinions on a critical matter for everyone: CrossPlay. Given that Stadium operates under competitive rules, these regulations apply to our primary competitive mode, which doesn’t permit PC and Console players to team up. Since this is the exclusive method to engage in the mode, we concur with your sentiments, and we’re eager to find a solution for it.

Sharing Overwatch 2 Stadium builds

An exciting upcoming aspect worth mentioning is the capability to both share and store Stadium designs within Overwatch 2, according to the director’s blog. This new feature is scheduled to debut during Season 17.

The statement indicates that this feature enables players to create builds for games other than Stadium matches, which they can then choose during gameplay. Additionally, it lets players pick from builds shared by the community as well.

For quite some time now, Blizzard Entertainment has allowed players to save and share their creations, and in the game Hearthstone, this has been a long-standing practice with players exchanging deck codes for years. It would be intriguing to observe how Overwatch 2 might adapt or introduce such a feature.
