Overwatch 2 has been out for over a year now. Since the sunset of Overwatch 1, players have seen a variety of new game modes, maps, Heroes, gameplay features, and more. Being able to share this experience with friends can only make everything better. The 5v5 Hero shooter is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X, and Series S. Does this mean that Overwatch 2 has crossplay functionality within the game?

Overwatch 2 does in fact have crossplay support in-game, but only to an extent. It’s true that players of all consoles can play matches with friends despite what system they choose. Xbox players can play with Nintendo Switch users, PlayStation with PC, etc. All game modes support crossplay except for one game mode, Competitive. Console players can all play competitively together in Overwatch 2, however, PC users can only play with other PC players. This is due to PC users having access to a keyboard and mouse, which can provide an unfair advantage for those on a console. Other than that one exception, Overwatch 2 does fully support crossplay on all platforms.
The Overwatch 2 PC system requirements have been released on Steam. The following are the minimum and recommended requirements to be able to run Overwatch 2 properly and efficiently. To have the best gameplay experience at launch, players should try to follow these guidelines.
