Overwatch: Competitive Season 4 is now live

Overwatch‘s fourth competitive season has begun, bringing a host of changes along with it.

First, the shooter has a new server browser, letting players set their own filters. Gamers can choose from a list of pre-made options or simply choose their own.

Skill ratings have also changed this season. Those with rankings higher than 3,000 will need to play in at least seven matches per week in order to secure their ranking. The change has been made to “improve the accuracy of a player’s skill rating, make maintaining multiple high-level accounts more difficult, and make upper-tier placement more meaningful,” Blizzard advised.

Another change impacts respawns, with a delay timer coming into play when there are more attackers than defenders on a control point.

Overwatch is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
