How to Create a Workshop
Planned Support in Future Updates
As of October 13, 2022, it is currently not possible to create workshops in Overwatch 2. The feature is still being developed and is planned to be supported in future updates.
Overwatch 1 Codes are Usable
Although workshop creation is not possible, codes used in Overwatch 1 can still be used. Some modes may not be compatible with the new characters "Junker Queen," "Sojourn," and "Kiriko," but there should be no issues when using them.
How to Play the Workshop
| Steps to Play the Workshop | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select "Play" from the main menu |
| 2 | Choose "Custom Game" |
| 3 | Select "Create Game" to go to the creation screen |
| 4 | Open the settings and choose "Workshop Example" from the existing settings or enter a code to play |
Created Games can be Played by Entering Codes
Workshop-created games can be played by entering their codes. There are various user-created game modes available for you to play!
Introduction to Available Mini Games
Molten Floor
Molten Floor is a game mode where the ground becomes Torbjörn's ULT "Molten Core" and continuously damages players while they are on the ground. You can enjoy different character picks such as characters with the ability to fly or high mobility.
Hide and Seek
| Character | Available Ability |
|---|---|
Widowmaker |
Grappling Hook |
Tracer |
Blink |
Hide and Seek is a mode where up to 6 Tracers hide from a single Widowmaker. Widowmaker's reticle deals 25 damage to Tracers, and if all Tracers are eliminated, Widowmaker wins.
Zombies
| Character | Scoring Method |
|---|---|
Reaper |
1 point added for each time Soldier: 76 is defeated |
Soldier: 76 |
5 points added for surviving until the end |
Zombies is a game where a randomly chosen Reaper tries to defeat Soldier: 76. Soldier: 76 can only use Sprint and when defeated, becomes a Reaper and hunts down the remaining Soldier: 76. The player with the highest score at the end is the winner.
Hero Gauntlet
Hero Gauntlet is a mode where the character changes every time you kill an enemy, and the player who kills all the characters first wins. Aim for first place by being aware of each character's strengths and weaknesses.
