Overwatch 2 has rolled out a fresh Stadium update, introducing a series of hero adjustments and bug fixes. This patch, separate from the upcoming mid-season update, focuses on fine-tuning gameplay balance in the Stadium mode, which debuted in Season 16.

The update brings significant buffs to five heroes: D.Va, Junkrat, Mei, Ana, and Zenyatta. These changes aim to enhance underutilized playstyles, such as Ability Power-focused Junkrat builds and healing-oriented Zenyatta strategies. Meanwhile, Juno and Kiriko received nerfs to address their overwhelming performance in high-level matches.

Blizzard has also resolved several technical issues, including problems with the new Aatlis Flashpoint map and Moira's Ancient Caller Mythic skin. Notably, all replay codes and highlights from the previous patch have been reset.

This Stadium-focused update precedes a more comprehensive mid-season patch expected later in July. The larger update will feature additional balance changes, map adjustments for New Junk City and Suravasa, and the trial weekend for the new support hero Wuyang (previously codenamed Aqua).

Below are the detailed patch notes for the July 8, 2025 Stadium update:
