How it plays
Six friends can fill a whole team, and a custom game holds two full teams, so a group of up to twelve can play against each other with bots covering gaps.
Picking heroes that work together matters as much as aim, and many heroes are simple to pick up.
A practice mode against AI suits groups who want to learn before facing other players.
The PlayStation 4 version runs alongside the PS5 one.
