The previous update for Overwatch on the PTR introduce Baptiste to the fold, but also saw a number of key balancing and character buffs that completely reshaped the way the game was played.
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…
Game turned to shit. Used to be great in 2016. Add more heroes while making other heroes ultimates more and more less effective. Soldier 76 is one, Junkrat another, this PTR update I bet will not be enough. I gave up on this game in 2018. The game was fine in 2016 everyones ultimates had an effect it was way more fun overall. Paladins is much better, they add more heroes yet the other heroes ultimates still have the same effect. I would love to see this game just die like Lawbreakers
