Overwatch 2 is changing up its usual Quick Play rules with Quicker Play, a limited-edition game mode that features faster captures speeds, payloads, and respawn times. The mode will run from January 12-14, after which Quick Play matchmaking will return.
As for what changes players can expect, much of it boils down to faster gameplay. Respawn times will be set to 75% of their original time, while payloads will move 60% faster. Taking control of the objective point in both Hybrid and Control will be 40% faster, while Flashpoint will be 20% faster. A list of all changes can be found below:
Quicker Play changes
According to Blizzard, the new mode is a part of the Overwatch team’s effort to test new ideas for a limited time in order to quickly understand what players like and implement changes to improve gameplay. Quicker Play is the first part of Quick Play: Hacked, a series dedicated to shaking up Overwatch’s core Quick Play gameplay in ways that impact strategies and fundamentals rather than hero balance.
For folks looking to play with the traditional Quick Play rules, Blizzard suggests creating a custom game using the standard Quick Play rules. Quick Play matchmaking will return to the normal rules on January 15.
