Blizzard Entertainment is introducing a new “first time user experience” structure to guide new players into the complex world of Overwatch 2.
The developer revealed the first time user experience, or FTUE, as part of its Defense Matrix security strategy that targets cheaters, toxic players, and other bad actors within the game. Players who have never played Overwatch before and make their account on or after launch will start with a limited amount of modes and heroes available to them. By completing quests and learning the game’s rules, they’ll unlock all of the game’s modes and the first Overwatch’s heroes over time. It takes about 100 matches to unlock all of those heroes, according to Blizzard.
