A new statistic about Overwatch is providing entertainment. The most popular mode in the Workshop is apparently the card game UNO. What makes the Workshop mode so popular?
Since the last patch, Overwatch players have much more freedom when it comes to creating their own game modes. With the Workshop, players can not only modify existing game modes, but also let their creativity flow and create completely new game modes for Overwatch.
The Game Director Jeff Kaplan has now released some statistics that are bound to raise some eyebrows in confusion. Because the most popular Overwatch mode in the Workshop is the card game UNO.
How is Uno played? Uno in Overwatch follows exactly the same rules as the well-known card game in the physical world. All players stand in a circle and take turns playing cards that are displayed on the screen. There are also the typical, somewhat chaotic cards, such as skipping a player or the popular “+4” card, which allows you to refill your hand immediately.

Here’s how you can play it yourself: If you want to try Uno yourself, just use the following code in the Workshop: WMVZC
The mode is still being improved and refined, such as with visual effects when players are skipped or only have one card left in hand.
Why should you play UNO in Overwatch? UNO in Overwatch is the perfect example of how much is possible with the Workshop when you are willing to invest time and effort.
It’s also a light-hearted break from all the serious matches where payloads are pushed from point A to B. A quick round of UNO, where you overwhelm your friends with extra cards, is the perfect change of pace.
Workshop popular in all regions, especially in Korea
In Korea, they love chaos: Jeff Kaplan further explained in his post that the Workshop is used more intensively in Korea than in the rest of the world. Here, a mode called “High Blood Pressure Marathon” is particularly popular. This is a wild mode, “without cooldowns, infinite ultimates, and some other crazy things”.
More crazy game modes: The developers have repeatedly expressed astonishment in recent days about the modes players have designed and how much creativity they have displayed. Some of the quirkiest game modes are presented here:
