Overwatch 2 Custom Game Codes: What Are Custom Game Modes?
Click to enlargeIf you haven't tried out custom games before, they are essentially modes in which the rules of the game are entirely different. Players can create their own new modes, and come up with entirely new ways to play the game.
For example, Genji Ball is a mode where all players play as Genji, and use his reflect ability to send a death ball back and forth like a deadly game of tennis.
To play a game like Genji Ball, you can either find an ongoing game in the Custom Games list, or you can start your own. To do this, you need to input a Genji Ball custom game code (such as A95F5), and start your own match.
