Custom Game

Custom Games is one of the available playlists in Overwatch 2, replacing the Game Browser from Overwatch. You can find many different ways to play in Custom Games or make your own with customizable settings. In this section, we will go over all the settings and all the different ways on how you can make a great custom game mode.

Info[ | ]

Find that perfect match or just create one.

Browsing[ | ]

There are 4 tabs in the custom games browser: Popular, Favorites, Recent and All games.

Popular[ | ]

In the popular tab, 6 custom Game Modes will be featured. Some may be labelled with "Hot" or "Trending" and some may just be there with no tags. These custom games will be the ones that gets the most plays. This tab will get updated weekly, unless the custom games are still most played.

Favorites[ | ]

You can toggle favorites in the browse menu. In this tab, the custom game you hover over will have its information shown on the side as well. Instead of showing the regular columns it shows on the "all games" tab, it shows the author and how many lobbies. Only your favorited custom games will show here.

Recent[ | ]

In this tab, the custom game you hover over will have its information shown on the side as well. Instead of showing the regular columns it shows on the "all games" tab, it shows the author and how many lobbies. For a custom game to show up here, you must have had to play it. Creating a lobby for it will not save it here.

All games[ | ]

Every custom game that is available in your region will be shown here. Custom games created in the workshop editor will have a hammer next to the map the custom game is on. This page updates on a refresh or re opening the custom games menu.

The lobby[ | ]

Upon selecting a custom game from the menus, you will be either taken straight into the game or into the lobby depending on whether the host has started. If you have joined, you will be playing the custom game created by the host with its own ruleset.

Players can create their own custom game lobby by pressing the +CREATE button next to the search field. Upon entering the lobby you will notice a lot of things surrounding the player list:

On the left, there is the current map the name will be displayed on the map), your own custom game name (you can edit this at any time by just simply selecting it and typing the name you wish to chose, the current game mode and the publicity (Default: friends only, invite only and everyone).

In the centre, you have the teams. If FFA is selected the "VS" will be removed and so will the team names. You can edit the team names to be whatever you like. The owner of the custom game mode will be placed on team 1 every time they create a custom game unless they used a template that has already been made. You can also change the amount of players to be 12 via the lobby settings.

Above the player list there are four buttons: "Move", "Settings", "Invite" and "Add AI". Using the Move button, you can instantly put everyone on separate teams or you can select a player and swap them with another player by selecting the player you wish to swap them with. The Settings button takes you to the Settings menu, where you can adjust the game mode and lobby. The Invite button allows you to either invite someone out of your Blizzard friends list or directly using their battle tag. Once you have selected someone the check-box next to their name should have a green check mark, this allows you to select more then one person at that time. After that, you can select what team they go on. If it is an FFA, they will be assigned the next slot available, if not then you can decide whether they go on team 1 or team 2.

Finally, we have the add AI button. In this menu, you can choose to add computer controlled players to the game. You can individually set them to use a certain hero (nearly all heroes will be available to add as an AI) or a hero from certain role. If you use the recommended role AI button, it will give you 1 tank, 1 damage and 2 support. Next, you can chose the difficulty, these are:

Beginner
Practice
Casual
Hard
Lethal
Extreme
Ultimate
Aimbot

You can then choose the amount of the specific AI you want with the count section. And finally, you can chose what team for them to go on, team 1 or team 2. AI may not work in all game modes so do not be shocked if the AI is not working in a game mode.

Below the player list, there are the spectator slots, with the maximum amount being 12 and the default being 2. You change the amount in the settings. When you are ready, you can start the custom game mode with the Start button.

Viewing the summary[ | ]

Viewing game mdoe details — Game details screen

You can access the summary through the lobby.

On the left, the game mode's image is portrayed, in this case Unranked. Beneath that is the custom game name, the creator, how long it has been up for and the total amount of players.
