The results of Blizzard's new feature in Overwatch were pretty disastrous.
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…
Probably for the best, if I knew it existed I'd have abused it too.. fed up of getting matched with selfish players who all want to be DPS which all but forces me to heal, getting over 30% team damage healed and not a single mvp vote.. it's infuriating.
Sounds like a game to avoid, then again what online community doesn't suffer from a-holes.
I wish I could avoid 90% of the people who play this game, some people are down right useless even asking people to change characters or switch up roles nicely doesn't work, when everyone wants to play Hanzo...
The reasoning behind this sounds pretty ridiculous imo. I seriously doubt that someone couldn't get into a game simply because people were avoiding him. I actually liked this feature because sometimes people are extremely rude in game and I loved that I could mute and avoid them. Now because of "ONE" person the whole system gets removed from the infrastructure? I can't help but feel like there is an underlying problem that they're not telling us about.
