Overwatch has 33 core maps across six game modes. Control, Escort, Hybrid, Push and Flashpoint maps rotate through Quick Play and Competitive; Clash was taken out of Competitive in 2025. Use the buttons to filter by mode.

New and changed in 2026: the Tokyo Hybrid map Neon Junction (Season 3), the Icelandic Escort map Watchpoint: Grímsvötn (Season 5), a rework of Antarctic Peninsula (Season 2) and reworks of Busan, Eichenwalde and Paraíso (Season 4).

ControlCapture one point and hold it until your meter reaches 100%. Best of three rounds on different parts of the map.
EscortAttackers push a payload through checkpoints to the end; defenders stall it until time runs out.
