The Overwatch competitive scene faces quite a few problems, even at this early point. Gloria from Reboot Reload explores some of the major ones, and why they need to be fixed.
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…
It's one of the reasons I've been hesitant to get into Overwatch. It's been downloaded on my Xbox for several months now, just haven't gotten around to playing it.
isn't this the case with every online competitive game? at least i stopped supporting/playing online based games years ago.
1. Tired of hearing general online issues being isolated to OW
2. Mute the annoying player
3. I don't use voice chat unless I'm in a party, it isn't needed if you're aware of enemy teams/ultimates and provide periodic ultimate status for your teammates. I also mute so I don't hear annoying players and that they don't hear me complain sometimes when things aren't going well. When we're winning I'm generally silent anyway.
4. If you don't know basic OW mechanics/team play avoid competitive and stick to everything else.
If you say you don't play OW because of others that's a petty issue since there's plenty of ways to not hear annoying people.
Two guys being dicks : COMPETITIVE IN OVERWATCH IS AN EPIDEMIC!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEE
mute that shit.
