Harbour notices · editorial
Each notice explains one choice behind the profiles or the planner, short enough to read between matches.
Overwatch 2 has been called Overwatch since February 2026, when its seasons restarted at Season 1. Rainbow Six Siege dropped the X it carried from June 2025, and the official site and Steam now use the plain name.
Search results and older guides still use the old names. They point to the same games, so the profiles here use the current names and mention the old ones once.
PEGI changed its criteria in June 2026: games that sell random items for real money now receive a PEGI 16 rating, and from October that applies to live games too. Overwatch, Marvel Rivals and SMITE 2 moved from 12 to 16; Apex Legends is 16 and Rainbow Six Siege 18.
Each profile names what is sold under its price model. The Play safe page explains how to set a limit before anyone opens a shop.
Rainbow Six Siege became free to access in June 2025. Quick Match, Unranked, Dual Front and a starter set of operators cost nothing. Ranked play and the rest of the roster need a paid edition.
The other four let every player into ranked play without buying anything, once level or win requirements are met. The fact table lists each requirement.
A departures board lists trains by time, not by destination. The board here lists games by how long a match takes, shortest first, because time decides more evenings than genre.
Overwatch and Marvel Rivals publish no official match length, so their figures are our estimates and are marked as such. Apex Legends' range comes from third-party guides, and SMITE 2's Arena from its community wiki.
