When Will Experimental Mode Be Available in Overwatch 2?
When you have a look at the Official Overwatch Experimental Patch Notes Page you can establish that the last experiment happened in February 2022. As of now, we do not see any announcement from Overwatch Team (or Blizzard) in regards to when the next Experimental Mode will be live. At any rate, it’s worth mentioning that it usually lasts about a week or two, so when you do notice it’s live and available, try to make the most of it.
