Mid-Season 19 Brings New Story Feature & Game Modes
The latest update introduces a Story feature, allowing players to explore Overwatch lore directly within the game through comics and videos. Alongside this, several balance adjustments and general fixes have been rolled out.
The update also debuts the Cyber Fuel Junkrat Mythic skin, complete with unique visual and sound effects.
Two limited-time modes headline this patch:
- Spirit Showdown (Nov 11–24): A chaotic deathmatch where players automatically swap heroes after scoring an elimination or dying twice.
- Junkrat’s Loot Hunt (Nov 20–23): Players can collect loot boxes by playing matches, with wins counting double.
Twitch Drops: Earn Sprays and Loot Boxes Till November 25
Blizzard has launched a Twitch Drops campaign to celebrate the mid-Season 19 update. By watching Overwatch 2 streams on Twitch until November 25 at 11:58 PM PT/November 26, 12:58 PM in Pakistan, players can claim exclusive cosmetic rewards.
To participate, players must link their Battle.net and Twitch accounts. Watching any Overwatch 2 stream will unlock rewards based on watch time:
- 1.5 hours: Cute Experiment Spray
- 3 hours: Cute Haunts Spray
- 5 hours: Common Loot Box
- 9 hours: Epic Loot Box
The sprays, featuring a stitched cat, teddy bear, and pumpkin, are brand new. Loot Boxes are tied to Season 19 and will automatically open once Season 20 begins on December 9.
Players can grab even more loot later this month. From November 26–30, the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) World Finals will feature additional Twitch Drops, including Loot Boxes, Battle Pass Tier Skips, and OWCS-themed skins.
For in-game earners, completing eight Spirit Showdown challenges before November 25 grants an Epic Loot Box, while Junkrat’s Loot Hunt offers up to nine Common Loot Boxes during its run from November 20–23.
Overwatch 2 Mid-Season 19: Packed With Content
With new Twitch Drops, the Cyber Fuel Junkrat Mythic skin, and a reimagined Story feature, the Overwatch 2 mid-Season 19 update is stacked with content. Players have multiple ways to earn cosmetics, test their skills, and dive deeper into the game’s evolving world before Season 20 kicks off on December 9.
