Hopes that Overwatch 2 will fully return to 6v6 matches are raised as the playtest is extended thanks to "continued player interest"

Overwatch 2 Kiriko twitch drops.

Overwatch 2 switching up the team sizes to make matches 5v5 was a controversial move, but now you can play it the old school way, 6v6, and soon with an open queue format.

Starting today, the 6v6 playtest will be extended thanks to "continued player interest and excitement for the mode," writes game director Aaron Keller. He adds that "the 6v6 card will move to the Arcade. It will be available until midseason, then transition to a 6v6 Open Queue format - Min 1, Max 3."
