Overwatch PTR Patch Notes 1.46 with share replays and hero updates

Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – February 26, 2020

GENERAL UPDATES

New Feature: Share Replays

Since the introduction of the replay system, players have consistently asked for the ability to share those replays. We’re excited to bring that functionality to you!

A replay is shared via an alphanumeric code typically 6 characters long. The code can be shared however you want: in game, on forums, over social media. Another player can input that code and watch your replay. Codes are valid until the next patch.

We have also made some improvements to the replay system.

  • You can pin up to 10 replays to keep until the next patch. You can unpin a replay to make room for a different replay.
  • We track your 10 most recently imported replay codes. This allows you to watch the same imported replay again without retyping the code.
  • There is a new note field for each replay entry. Add descriptions or notes for yourself.

General Updates

  • In game friend requests will now only display in game once per session.
  • RealID friend requests will only show RealID names in game if you have recently played with that player.
  • The initial Assemble Heroes timer for games using the Assault, Hybrid, Control, and Payload game modes has been further reduced from 35 to 30 seconds.
  • In the Assault, Payload, and Hybrid game modes for Competitive Play, when both teams complete a round of offense and have more than 2 minutes of time bank then each team’s time bank is equally reduced until one of the teams has a 2 minutes remaining.
