Overwatch 2's "Hacked" event released

 12 JANUARY 2024

Blizzard have released a limited-time game mode for 'Quick Play', called Quick Play: Hacked.

On January 12th, Blizzard Entertainment released a new lightning-fast game mode for Overwatch 2, that will run from Jan 12th to 14th. The game mode, inspired by the character Sombra, called 'Quick Play: Hacked' will feature faster moving payloads, faster spawn times, and quicker gameplay.

In their latest blog post, game developers have said "We want to learn what changes to Overwatch 2 you enjoy the most. Testing new ideas with you for a limited time allows us  to quickly understand what you like and possibly implement changes to improve gameplay. 

"This also gives players of all skill levels an opportunity to try out new playstyles and strategies that wouldn't necessarily work in a traditional game of Overwatch."

For this weekend only, players can expect to see:

  • Respawning times are now 75% of their original time.
  • Payloads in Escort and Hybrid maps will move 60% faster.
  • Taking control of the Objective Point in Hybrid is 40% faster than normal.
  • Taking control of the Objective Point in Control is 40% faster than normal, and scoring the capture progress percentage is 80% faster.
  • Taking control of the objective point in Flashpoint is 20% faster than normal, and scoring the capture progress percentage is 40% faster.
  • When you play an Escort, Hybrid, or Push map, the initial match time has been reduced to 70% of the original time, and any time extensions are also reduced to 70% of the total time added.
  • These changes only apply to all players who play in Role Queue and Open Queue Quick Play modes during the duration of the event and will return to normal after January 14. Competitive Play and Arcade modes are not affected by these changes.

Blizzard's choice to replace Quick Play, this weekend, has been met with intense feedback from Gamers across social media. 

Players are being encouraged to tell Blizzard what aspects they enjoy and want to see more of in the future.
