Players can unlock Lifeweaver and support their teams with biolight healing and utility. The Premium Battle Pass offers Galactic Emperor Sigma and other space opera cosmetics for players to earn.
Lifeweaver, a scientist from Thailand, has a diverse kit enabling him to heal and rescue teammates with abilities such as Healing Blossom, Thorn Volley, Petal Platform, and Life Grip. His ultimate ability, Tree of Life, provides sustained healing and protection. Season 4 also includes balance updates and a reworked ultimate ability for Brigitte, along with small changes to Sigma, Reinhardt, and Cassidy.

There have been several updates to improve the Competitive experience in Overwatch 2, including the removal of seasonal decay and the display of the average skill rating of the match at the beginning of the game. Backfilling for Unranked matches has also been improved, ensuring that players entering a match in progress have a skill rating as close to other players in the match as possible, for fairer gameplay.
