Flashpoint game mode and the upcoming maps will be rolled out in Overwatch 2 with the release of Season 6, which is expected to happen at 04:15 pm ET/ 09:15 am GMT / 01:00 pm CST. Unlike previous seasons, updates will be released at different scheduled times depending on the region.
Detailed information about Flashpoint game mode
The Flashpoint game mode involves 5v5 team-based matches, capturing three objectives on the map to achieve victory. Once a point has been captured, another will be available for grabs. It is essential to keep in mind that you must capture all objectives at the same time to win the match. Without the team capturing the point, the opponents can claim it back.
The latest addition will be available on both Quick Play (Unranked) and Competitive playlists, along with Control, Escort, Hybrid, and push game modes.
