Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – April 28, 2020
A new Overwatch patch is in development and now available for testing! To share your feedback or report any issues, please post in the PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forums.
Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes may also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and only reflects changes coming specifically to that platform.
GENERAL UPDATES
Custom Games Updates
- Custom Game Filter - Changed the custom game filter "Only Show Games with Space For Party" in 2 ways:
- The names have been changed to be more descriptive: "on" is now "room in game" and "include in queue" is now "room in lobby". "off" is still "off"
- The filter's default has been changed to "room in game" (previously "on") instead of "off"
