All Kingmaker Passives in Overwatch 2

The Kingmaker game mode is the latest of Overwatch 2’s Quick Play: Hacked events, taking place in Season 14 – Spellbinder. Here’s everything you’ll need to know about the Kingmaker game mode and all Kingmaker passive abilities in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 Kingmaker Game Mode & All Passives, Explained

Overwatch 2’s Kingmaker game mode is a Quick Play: Hacked event. During these short-term opportunities, Sombra takes over the Quick Play game mode and ‘hacks’ it, tweaking different gameplay mechanics, rulesets, hero abilities, and balance changes to test out different variations with players—some of which may be taken into consideration for future updates to the game.

Kingmaker is one of the many Quick Play: Hacked limited-time game modes. In Kingmaker, Quick Play operates as 5v5, but with a spin: Hero Roles are locked to two maximum across Tank, DPS, and Support, and whichever player finds themselves as the solo team member in their role will become the ‘King’, receiving an extra bonus in the form of passive abilities to help support them in their role.

Players can switch their team lineup between each round to promote another King, but switching during rounds is locked, meaning you’ll need to take your team composition into consideration to make the most out of each set of passives.

To play Kingmaker, players can navigate to the Quick Play menu. You will be able to find it as a third option outside of Role Queue and Open Queue. However, Kingmaker isn’t around for long, lasting only until December 8, 2024, so you should look to make the most of this game mode ASAP.
