Last night, the update 2.06 went live for Overwatch. What is behind it? Where are the patch notes?
However, last night in our time, users reported: I’m currently downloading update 2.06. What’s included?
The update 2.06 for Overwatch weighs about 142 MB on PS4. 2.06 seems to have been an exclusive update for PS4 and Xbox One.
According to information from Blizzard, a critical bug was discovered in the server browser – Bill Warnecke stated this in the Blizzard forum. Warnecke is the Lead Software Engineer at Blizzard.
This bug caused players to become invisible in the “Capture the Rooster” mode – this is the Capture-the-Flag variant of Overwatch.
Update 2.06 fixes issues with invisible players on PS4 and Xbox One
Therefore, Blizzard temporarily disabled this mode and later reactivated it once the issue was resolved by the patch. So, 2.06 focuses on this specific arcade mode, as far as we can tell.
For such “smaller updates and bug fixes,” Blizzard does not release patch notes – hence patches like 2.06 often lead to questions and confusion.
The major changes to Overwatch came with 2.05 earlier. Here you can read the patch notes for that:
