During Blizzard’s recent Overwatch 2 Spotlight stream, it was announced that Stadium would be joining Quick Play and Competitive as a third primary aspect of Overwatch 2 starting with Season 16 later this year. Unlike the other modes, Stadium will only be available for ranked play with role queue, and matches will follow a “best of seven” format. The traditional Control, Push, and Clash game modes from Overwatch will still be present in Stadium, but the experience is set to drastically change as players continue to engage with it, effectively introducing an entirely new game.
