Blizzard has made changes to Overwatch 2 map Midtown following a fan request that pointed out the “anti-homeless architecture” featured in the map. Thanks to the ongoing OW2 Beta, the Blizzard game is back under the microscope. Under this microscope, players have found plenty wrong with the game, primarily with Symmetra and Mercy, both of which are suffering from balance issues. That said, while most arguing about the game’s various characters and whether they need a buff or a nerf, one player noticed a small detail on the map Midtown. 

Thank you SO much to the Overwatch team for deciding to change this!! Its honestly overall a small change but it goes a long way. ♥ You guys rock https://t.co/6bjUS5x3iT pic.twitter.com/F7a5y5iX0m

This was great feedback. Also, we decided early on in the map story development that Overwatch’s NY offers free, safe housing for people. Some of this is in the map VO, with further details planned for later.“How we hope the world will be” is a big part of our story dev.
