World of Warcraft Hotfixes Patch Notes (24th June 2026)

Blizzard rolled out hotfixes on June 23 addressing a backlog of bugs across World of Warcraft: Midnight, Classic variants, and Season of Discovery. The biggest quality-of-life fix here is the Midsummer Fire Festival getting account-wide daily unlocks, no more grinding the same dailies on alts just to unlock the next tier. That's the kind of change that should have been standard from the start, honestly.

On the PvP side, Blizzard fixed a nasty display bug where important defensive effects and major cooldowns weren't showing up on enemy nameplates. That's a competitive integrity issue; you can't properly read an opponent's defensive cooldowns if you can't see them. The fix also restores Rotmire's Sporeheart to trigger from Leech healing again, and addresses a Midsummer Bonfire damage scaling problem in Burning Crusade Classic.

Mists of Pandaria Classic gets the most substantial changes, with Siege of Orgrimmar receiving a full rebalance: Garrosh now drops bonus loot, Celestial Dungeons got significant nerfs to Kor'kron forces, and August Stone Clusters cap at 200 instead of 70. Check the full notes for the complete list of fixes across all versions.

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Midnight, Mists of Pandaria Classic, Season of Discovery, Burning Crusade Classic, WoW Classic Era, and Hardcore. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
