The 14 best custom game codes in Overwatch 2

Custom games in Overwatch 2 range from practical aim training workshops that can help you isolate abilities to master a hero, to fun and meaningless game modes that highlight the true possibility of the workshop in the original Overwatch.

Years of endless creativity in the original game have left players with several dynamic game modes that completely change the tempo of the traditional game. Most of the codes from Overwatch have transferred well into Overwatch 2 so here are the top custom game codes. 

Though we’ve highlighted some practical custom game modes before, here are a few that are less serious, and will open up a whole new world for players in Overwatch 2.

Roller Coaster

This code is one of the most beautiful and relaxing workshop modes in Overwatch 2. This mode made its way around the community in the original Overwatch as well, and the code still works on maps included in the original game.

Roller Coaster workshop code: 40M5M

The roller coaster custom game code will spawn the player into a certain location on the selected map. From there, several Orisas will spawn on the visible “train tracks” that appear around the map. To ride the roller coaster, you will need to hop on Orisa as your mode of transportation. 

Once you’ve waited by the side of the track for an Orisa to come around, quickly press the F/interact key to hop on and ride! Your character will sit on top of Orisa as if riding a horse. You have to be quick to hop on since the Orisas will not stop for you even if you’ve been patiently waiting on the side of the tracks. 

You can also easily fall off of Orisa, so the best way to enjoy this game mode is to take your hands off the keyboard and enjoy. You can fire your abilities off into the distance if you’d like, but they won’t have any effect besides maybe breaking some guard rails. 

This game mode is extremely relaxing. The Orisas will never stop going around and around, so you can stay on the roller coaster as long as you’d like. If you are someone who enjoys the art and design of the Overwatch 2 maps, this code is great because several of the roller coasters take you outside of the original playable boundaries of the map. 

Streamers such as Eskay have sometimes hopped into the roller coaster custom game mode while in queue. It gives a bit of visual interest and keeps you in the game without needing to be active in a deathmatch or skirmish.

Ashe Roulette

If you’re looking for a game mode to play with friends that quite literally takes no skill and barely any effort, but will still incite lots of laughs, look no further than Ashe Roulette.

Ashe Roulette code: F2YS6

Ashe Roulette is a play on Russian Roulette. Since it is a game of chance, and you can’t control or predict when you’re going to die. 

Everyone spawns in as Ashe, and you can’t pick any other hero for this game. Each player spawns in a dedicated spot which they can’t move from. One by one, each person goes around the circle and says Ashe’s “hello” voice line. The players take turns and go in the designated order of the circle. 

If you’re unfamiliar with Ashe as a character or are new to Overwatch 2, she is known as one of the characters with some of the best voice acting in the game. Her voice lines are iconic and colorful, which really makes playing her a joy.  

One of her most famous voice lines is her classic “Hey!” voice line, which is what is played when selecting “hello” on the communication wheel. Well, most of the time. Most heroes have more than one version of them saying hello, which helps to mix up communication and make each character more dynamic. 

But Ashe’s singular “Hey!” is so perfect, in fact, that Ashe Roulette seeks to eliminate any Ashe player who says “Hello,” or “How’s it goin’” instead. 

Each player who says “Hey!” when they press “hello” on the communication wheel gets to stay alive. But if someone says “Hello,” or “How’s it goin’”, the other players are free to shoot at them. 

Basically, if you don’t say “Hey!”, you die. And there’s no way of controlling it. If you’re a big Ashe fan, this might be a fun game mode for you to try out.

Parkour Challenges

Parkour has been a huge part of Overwatch’s custom game culture for years. With the original game’s extensive workshop capabilities, players are free to let their imagination run wild with all of the possibilities in the game.

A unique aspect of Overwatch 2 is that from hero to hero, not only do abilities and weapons change but also the physique of the character as a whole. Even tank characters, despite being large, don’t have a lot in common in terms of their physical structure or movement capabilities. 

Due to these unique traits and also the incredible hidden designs in Overwatch 2’s maps, doing “parkour” across the various landscapes opens up an entirely new way to have fun with the game. 

In a parkour challenge, you will spawn in as a certain hero, and you usually can’t change it (some challenges allow you to unlock new heroes as you progress through them). From there, there will be clear directions either outlining a path or sometimes, in lava-style challenges, there will be bubbles of “lava” that indicate where to go. 

Your job is to traverse the area and carve out a path with the limited movement and surfaces available. Some of these challenges are extremely difficult and take hours to master. You might be within inches of clearing a goal point when the lava kills you, and you have to start all over. 

Certain parkour challenges highlight certain heroes’ specific abilities, like Brigitte’s Shield Bash, which flings her over large distances, and Cassidy’s roll, which also allows him to quickly cover a lot of ground. 

Lava Parkour Codes

Here are two Overwatch 2 lava parkour codes to get you started.

• Lava Parkour – Castillo: BJEPK
• Lava Parkour – Route 66: 700ST

Kill to Grow

Kill to Grow is a fun game mode to play with friends. Maybe you don’t have ten people to fill up a traditional custom game lobby but still want to do something fun? Give Kill to Grow a shot.

The basic idea is exactly what the title of the mode is. With every kill you get on an enemy, your own character model grows in size. This game mode was very popular after Blizzard introduced changing hero model size as a variable in the workshop settings.

Kill to Grow code: RONRY

The larger your model is, the slower they move and the more HP they have. Therefore, as you grow, it’s harder to get kills but easier to stay alive. Small characters are very squishy but are extremely fast, allowing them to avoid most projectiles easily.

There is also a “safe zone” that only small characters will be able to access to stay away from the mid-size and large heroes. This mode gets pretty hilarious when there are several smaller players ganging up on one large hero who has so much HP they can’t be taken down.

Ana Paintball

The Ana Paintball workshop code in Overwatch 2 is an exhilarating custom game mode designed by Jinko using the game’s workshop tools.

Ana Paintball Code: 1DMTZ

In this mode, players take on the role of Ana, the skilled support hero, armed with only her Sleep Dart. The objective is to engage in thrilling one-shot duels with other Anas on a paintball-themed map. Precision and quick reflexes are key, as a single hit results in elimination. It’s a fast-paced and entertaining game mode that challenges players’ aiming skills and reflexes, offering a unique twist to the standard Overwatch 2 experience.

Overrealm

Have you ever considered adding MOBA-inspired items and a dash of invisibility to Overwatch? The Overrealm workshop code does just that, transforming a regular control map match into an entirely novel gaming experience.

Overrealm Code: KQ9Q7

This innovative creation introduces a credit and event system, enabling in-game purchases of unique power-ups, while incorporating a variety of random effects that can both aid and hinder each team. Inspired by the concepts found in Paladins, creator StarkGo has crafted a fresh and meticulously detailed gameplay mode. Dive into the world of invisibility and embrace the excitement today!

Overwatch 2: Reworked 2.0

The “Overwatch 2: Reworked 2.0″ custom workshop code by MushaSnazz is a substantial overhaul of the Overwatch game mechanics, introducing an array of modifications and enhancements.

Reworked 2.0 Code: 50N8F

This workshop code offers a comprehensive rework of various heroes’ abilities, resulting in an entirely fresh and dynamic gameplay experience. Players can expect significant alterations to hero interactions, tactics, and overall balance. Overwatch 2: Reworked 2.0 breathes new life into the game, offering players a chance to explore and enjoy a creatively redesigned version of Overwatch. The Symmetra updates, in particular, take her from utility to utility support, all while keeping her turrets, making her more of a threat than ever!

Doom Sumo: Overwatch 2 Edition

This workshop code by MissyV is a thrilling adaptation of the original Doom Sumo, originally created by MrDorin.

Doom Sumo: Overwatch 2 Code: WW8YY

Players control their characters using several key abilities: the Hand Cannon, which stuns and propels enemies forward (with increased stun duration when combined with Power Block); the Rocket Punch, serving as the primary means to knock adversaries off the map; the Slam for nimble maneuvering, but only effective when on the ground; Power Block, which propels you upward and nearby enemies but can’t be charged and has a limited duration; and the Ultimate ability, capable of knocking down hit enemies for a 3-second duration.

Version 4 was updated in 2023 with a few quality-of-life updates: The Hand Cannon and Power Block combination now increases the stun duration by 0.8 seconds when opponents are airborne. The Slam ability cooldown has been reduced, and additional in-game controls are displayed at the top left of the screen.

Genji Dodgeball

This workshop code experience is a fast-paced mini-game created by Mazawrath that draws inspiration from the popular TF2 game mode, Pyro Dodgeball.

Genji Dodgeball Code: VYDBB

In this adrenaline-packed experience, red balls are locked onto your character, challenging you to use your deflect ability strategically. As you deflect, lock your gaze onto the individual you intend to target next. For added flair and tactical advantage, leverage bounce pads to gain extra altitude and showcase your stylish dodging skills in this thrilling game of survival and precision. Mid-2023, update patch 7.9.1 was dropped, establishing an anti-cheat system for invisible players and fixing the ‘sliding’ issue by adding temporary immunity to the knockdown effect when dashing into the ball.

1V1 Arena 

An ideal mode to play with friends, 1V1 is a deathmatch that will pit you against one another in a one-versus-one arena. On a 14-hero rotation, you must reach 50 kills to claim victory within two confines of the Lijiang Control Center map. You swap to one of the 14 available characters every time you die, keeping the match exciting and fresh as you must adapt if you want to win. It’s thrilling, intense, and an easy code to remember, ensuring that you’ll be coming back time and time again for a rematch. 

1V1 Arena Code: TXCXX 

Ghosts of Collection 

Ghosts of is a collection of various Overwatch maps combining search and exploration objectives to create an atmospheric yet cozy experience. Available maps include Midtown, Blizzard World, Dorado, King’s Row, Eichenwalde, and Hollywood. For Overwatch fans who enjoy the more chill and calming type of game, Ghosts of Collection hits that spot.

The objective of the mode is simple: Take a photograph of the ghosts haunting these classic Overwatch maps. What you’re seeking could be a new object that has been added somewhere stealthily or a ghost posing as one of the heroes, waiting for you to take their picture. 

You can take photographs with the interact button. You’ll see if you’ve completed the level by checking the photo tracker displayed on the top right. You can also look back at your accumulated photos in a handy album.

• Ghosts of Blizzard World – E1782 
• Ghosts of Dorado – BSNNX 
• Ghosts of King’s Row – DNGH1 
• Ghosts of Eichenwalde – ECJHQ

Island Party – Heroes Minigames 

Can’t get enough of one particular party game mode? Island Party – Heroes Minigames has got you covered. From Cassidy’s Hot Potato and Roadhog’s 6 Hooks 1 Hole, to D.Va’s Air Race; you can expect utter chaos with this custom code. Its fast-paced, ever-changing minigames keep things unpredictable and wildly entertaining. Keep your eyes peeled on the objective of each game to claim victory. You’ll have a whale of a time regardless of where you’re placed.

Real Cod Zombies: Origins

Powerups and perks keep each round and attempt interesting as new survival strategies open up. Just how long will you last? 

Real Cod Zombies Code: SR0T1 

Risk of Overwatch 

Out of all of the modes designed after an existing video game, Risk of Overwatch might be one of the most impressive out there. This PvE game mode is based on Risk of Rain, an addicting roguelike with a fantastic amount of variety in overcoming its difficult stages. The main catch is that the longer you take making the most of each stage, the stronger all your enemies become.

Risk of Overwatch does what Risk of Rain does best; bringing exploration, item gathering and boss fights together in an endless loop. Brave it alone or get the squad ready to clear the stages as fast as you can!
