January 24 update has arrived for Overwatch 2, and here’s everything added and changed with this patch. The game’s community isn’t satisfied with the game’s updates because they’re usually late. The updates also generally don’t contain the balance changes or new features we expected. Yes, the game was released only a few months ago; but it was in the beta process for years. The game’s first versions weren’t failed, but Blizzard was missing the after-release updates. As big expectations exist, we want to see the changes we wanted months before. Here’s everything about the Overwatch 2 update released on January 24 and its patch notes.

Previously, damage boosts and critical damage had an amplified effect for Sojourn since it reduced the time to build energy and lowered the threshold at which her Railgun secondary fire became lethal. The reduction to primary fire damage will further slow that down as well.
