Director’s Take Thoughts

The amount of content we are getting in the upcoming seasons for Stadium is incredible. It is especially noteworthy that a significant portion of the changes come from community feedback. Crossplay, build sharing, and custom games are all aspects that the Overwatch 2 community has asked for. If they continue on this path, Overwatch 2 is back. The only concern is whether the addition of Stadium will stretch the Overwatch 2 team thin in other departments, but considering recent Balance and Cosmetics, that may not be an issue.
