Overwatch 2 has been making some waves as of late with the Invasion update releasing August 10th, 2023. Along with the update, the 5v5 hero shooter will be making its way on Steam as well. That being said, does Overwatch 2 have crossplay capabilities?
Whether players decide to play Overwatch 2 on Xbox Series consoles, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch, or PC via Steam, Overwatch 2 does, in fact, have crossplay capabilities. This means that regardless of what system someone plays on, players can play with each other.
Recently revealed by Blizzard, support hero Illari will be the newest hero added to the game. She will be a healing support that is supposedly from Peru and inspired by the Incan people of ancient times from that area. Everything she does is related to the sun and its healing and damaging properties.
It looks as if she will be joining in the story missions as well and fits the last bit of news that the devs gave about the support heroes. She is likely younger in age and a new hero coming to the world of Overwatch 2. Illari is the second to last hero being added in 2023.
Overwatch 2’s Flashpoint game mode is a domination-like game mode. Players will be going against each other in a 5v5 matchup. It’s essentially a race between each other. The first team to capture three Flashpoints wins. There will be two maps for the game mode at launch with one of them being New Junk City.
The only mention of Blizzard-related games on Game Pass at the moment is Overwatch 2, but only as a perk. Subscribers of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will get access to the Overwatch New Heroes Starter Pack beginning on August 10. This gives players access to the first six new Heroes of Overwatch 2 for free.
Stay tuned for more gaming content, including information regarding Overwatch 2 and everything Blizzard related.
