Overwatch 2’s August 12 Hotfix Targets Four Bugs
The live hotfix fixes problems involving Moira, D.Mon, and Paraíso without adding new balance changes.
Overwatch 2 received a small hotfix on August 12, 2026, with Blizzard focusing on four bugs affecting Moira, D.Mon, and Paraíso. The official patch notes describe it as a hotfix update rather than a new round of balance changes.
The fixes arrive one day after the larger Season 4 update, which added D.Mon, Emerald rank, map changes, and a broad set of hero adjustments. Our August 11 update breakdown covers those additions in more detail.
Players can also still use replay codes from the August 11 patch. Here is the complete list of changes in the August 12 hotfix.
