PATCH AT A GLANCE
Official source ↗Quick take
We are implementing 4.5 hour map rotations in Ranked for all regions!
AffectedPC · PS5 · Xbox · Switch 2
Main focusADJUSTED:
- After testing 4.5 hour rotations in our East Asia servers late in Season 28, we believe implementing this cadence in all servers will have a positive impact on the playerbase by enabling more map variety. This means players can engage on their favourite maps more often, or feel less “trapped” on their least favourite maps.
- During the initial test we saw positive player sentiment regarding the opportunity to potentially play on multiple maps in a single play session and we’re excited to provide this opportunity to all regions.
- This is a permanent change, though we may continue to test slight variances in rotation duration to pinpoint the most optimal timelines!
