If you haven’t set up automatic updates for Overwatch 2 yet, then you can still manually pre-download the mid-season patch. To get started, simply open the Battle.net launcher and log in to your Blizzard account.
Then, click on the Overwatch 2 icon. This is shown by the blue arrow in our screenshot above. If Overwatch 2 is one of your go-to games, then it should be in the favorites banner. Next, just below the “Play” button, there’s a prompt that reads “Download Pre-Release Content.” Click that to start downloading the new patch in advance.
