Overwatch Achievements Can Now Be Earned in Quick Play Classic

Overwatch Patch 1.46 added the ability for players to earn achievements in Quick Play Classic, game director Jeff Kaplan confirmed Monday.

Patch 1.46 arrived on live servers Thursday, bringing the Archives event to players. Patch notes for the update did not include reference to achievements in Quick Play Classic. One curious player, who goes by the name Baja on the official Overwatch forums, asked Blizzard to clarify whether or not the feature had been included in the patch.

Kaplan himself responded within half an hour of Baja's post to assure the community that the change had in fact gone through.

"achievements can now be earned in quick play classic," Kaplan wrote. "it was an oversight that it did not get listed in the patch notes."

Quick Play Classic was added to Overwatch shortly after the introduction of role queue in September 2019 as a way to placate players who missed the rambunctious freedom of a pre-role queue Overwatch.
