The Overwatch 2 devs are revamping the POTG system.

Keller went on to add that the devs were working on a “larger Hero and player progression system” that should be coming later this year.
“This new system replaces the old player level system, while expanding on it to offer a bunch of categories for players to level and show off your progress to others,” he said.
With Season 4 just a couple of weeks away, it seems like there will be plenty of content for Overwatch players to look forward to in 2023 and beyond.
