Current-Gen Updates - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X players will see improvements with this latest patch, including 4k output, full 60hz gameplay, HDR, higher resolution shadow maps, and greater LOD distances.

Control is Back - The limited-time 9v9 mode Control is returning for two weeks, this time with the addition of Caustic Treatment on Kings Canyon.

The Caustic Treatment - Caustic Treatment has been converted into a three-point battleground for control over Kings Canyon. The battleground now comes equipped with additional cover, ziplines, skydive launchers, a hover tank, and more to allow for increased balance and improved flow.

Reward Tracker - Each week of the event has its own rewards track. Players can earn points and refresh their challenges everyday. The Warriors Collection Event will also feature a stretch challenge that rewards four unique badges if players complete them during the event.
