Overwatch 2 director Aaron Keller acknowledges the significant demand for a 6v6 mode, although the exact extent of this demand remains uncertain.

Fans have expressed enthusiasm about the introduction of 6v6 into competitive play, even though it will not be the primary mode.

Following successful temporary trials, Overwatch 2 is set to introduce a 6v6 mode, which has garnered positive feedback from players.

A new mini-competitive season for 6v6 will kick off in midseason 15, providing players the opportunity to engage in this team size competitively.

Keller has indicated that a 6v6 mode will 'probably' become a permanent feature in the game moving forward.

The possibility of fully reverting to the original 6v6 team sizes remains open, contingent on the continued success of these trials.

Despite the addition of 6v6, the core 5v5 format will continue to be the main gameplay mode for the time being.
