#25.1 Map Rotation Update

ANNOUNCEMENT 2023.08.17

Hello players,

Since the launch of Update 25.1, we've been closely monitoring in-game matchmaking patterns and your feedback. We've pinpointed a few challenges, especially matchmaking issues linked to the Featured Map queue for specific regions. We've also taken the general community's concern about missing the refreshed Miramar in consideration regarding certain rotation slots. Given these observations, we've adjusted the Normal Match map rotation for the remainder of Update 25.1 so players can experience Miramar more frequently throughout the update cycle.

* August 17 Update: We initially aimed to operate separate map rotations for random map regions to better cater to player preference, but we have currently identified matchmaking issues in specific random map regions after the live server maintenance. Therefore, to streamline our analysis of this issue, we have consolidated the map rotations as below. (However, based on player preference, we have elevated the match rate for larger maps within random map regions.) We apologize for the confusion.
