At the end of each match, players earn Stadium Cash, which they can use to acquire upgrades between rounds, starting with an initial balance of 3,500 Stadium Cash.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A completely different way to play Overwatch 2<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stadium introduces the third-person perspective as the default view, allowing for better visibility of the environment, although players can always opt for the first-person view if they prefer. <strong>The mode will feature 18 heroes available at launch, including Freja, a new damage hero, and more heroes and maps are expected to arrive in future updates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stadium Gameplay Trailer | Overwatch 2\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E9tUpO0BTQY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A notable feature of Stadium is its ranking system independent of the standard competitive one, with exclusive bonuses for players who reach high ranks. <strong>The ranking will consist of seven skill categories, and those who reach the Elite rank each season will receive exclusive Epic-grade skins<\/strong>. A mercy rule will also be implemented that will end a match if one team wins the first three rounds and has at least 15,000 Stadium Cash more than the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this new mode, each player will be able to customize their playstyle through a purchase system similar to that of a MOBA, allowing them to combine upgrades and abilities to their liking. <strong>With a focus on inclusion and balance, Blizzard hopes to keep the competition fresh and exciting in Stadium<\/strong>. Although the specific cadence of updates for this mode has not yet been determined, it is expected to continue evolving with new additions in the upcoming seasons.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Xbox Game Pass\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/8b773de5-0b20-429f-a535-c159557192df\/2791990695\/xbox-game-pass-Xbox%20Game%20Pass%20for%20PC-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Xbox Game Pass<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox-game-pass.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox-game-pass.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blizzard Entertainment has announced the arrival of Stadium, a new permanent mode in Overwatch 2 that revolutionizes competitive play since its launch in 2023.
