Overwatch Update 3.11 Patch Notes
General Updates
Nameplates now indicate which teammates are speaking in Team or Group voice chat channels. This feature is also available for Match voice chat channels when enabled in Custom Games. The voice icon color will match the color of the voice chat channel players are speaking in.
Players who have previously earned a hero’s Overwatch League Home (Gray) skin through historical promotions will now be automatically granted that hero’s corresponding Overwatch League Away (White) skin.
Competitive Updates
Competitive Deathmatch Season 4 has begun! Now through June 8th, 2021, compete in Competitive 8-player free for all Deathmatch to earn a rank and rewards.

While not a major content update, there are still a number of things that make up this latest patch. One of the most useful is that fact that nameplates will not show which teammates are speaking in team or group voice chat channels. This will make things much smoother to know who is speaking, which is always a concern in online games. Those who previously earned the Home skin for heroes will also be getting their corresponding Away skin as well. On top of the launch of Competitive Deathmatch Season 4, there are also some fixes with the game itself, maps, and even some of the heroes.
Overwatch is available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. For more information regarding this patch, visit the official Overwatch forums.
