Overwatch: PTR patch – updates for Sigma and bug fixes

After the developers of the team shooter released the next hero on the public test realm (PTR), today there are updates for Sigma. Here you can read the latest notes.

Today the next patch for Blizzard’s team shooter Overwatch has been released on the public test realm (PTR). Besides updates for the new tank hero Sigma, there are several bug fixes. Detailed information about Sigma’s abilities can be found in this article and in the developer video below.

Please note that the following patch notes only refer to current changes in the PTR. While many of these changes may be implemented for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is only available to PC players and will therefore only include changes planned for that platform. If you would like to share your feedback or report a bug, please post your contribution in the English-language PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forum.
