Blizzard Entertainment has continued to lean into seasons in Overwatch 2 as a way to keep the game feeling fresh years after its launch.
The original Overwatch enjoyed 35 competitive seasons over six years, from season one in 2016 to season 35 in 2022. As of 2025, Overwatch 2 is in its 15th season. Seasons last roughly two months and add new heroes, maps, and more to the game.
Here’s everything there is to know about the history of seasons in OW1 and OW2.
