Blizzard released a new update for Overwatch 2 for March 2025 with major balance adjustments and changes to heroes like Mauga, Roadhog, and Ana, to name a few.

On March 18, Blizzard rolled out the mid-season update for Overwatch 2, introducing buffs to underperforming perks, bug fixes, new in-game challenges and shop items, and the second LE SSERAFIM collaboration. The LE SSERAFIM collaboration brings five new skins for Tracer, Brigitte, Sombra, Kiriko, and D.Va, and the release of the new skins was accompanied by Overwatch 2’s latest Twitch Drops and a new Discord quest. Blizzard has been consistent with its steady flow of updates for Overwatch 2 in 2025, which continues with the March 25 balance and hotfix update.
The March 25 update brings balance adjustments to 11 heroes in 5v5 and 6v6 modes in Overwatch 2. Mauga received substantial ability nerfs with Cardiac Overdrive no longer offering damage reduction to allies and Berserker Passive’s Overhealth conversion rate. Mauga’s Cage Fight Ultimate also got nerfs, with the Ultimate’s cost being increased by 8% and Barrier health being reduced from 1500 HP to 1200 HP. Winston’s Ultimate received a similar nerf with his Ultimate cost increasing by 10%.
