When the good ship Overwatch launches for PC and consoles today, it will carry with it more than just the historic fans of team shooter battles.
In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.
The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.
As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.
Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.
you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.
that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.
They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD
Nexon has entered a publishing agreement with Blizzard for Overwatch in Korea, with the companies working to deliver services 'tailored' for the region.
The four-part Blizzard Showcase will reveal “what comes next” for each series…
I am not great at shooting, but at the same rate I dont really want to be a healer. At least not all the time anyways. Thankfully, I can play Reinhart and smash people in the face with a hammer and block damage to support my team. I can be a real threat without having to resort to some role that I dont really want to do. This is one of the things that make Overwatch great. There really is a character for everyone and you dont need to level up to unlock those characters. Instead of wasting a ton of time trying to get a character to check out, I can just check out a character I might like and see if he or she is for me.
