Overwatch 2: Nintendo Switch version will have to ‘make some concessions’

Overwatch 2 was announced a few years ago, and the project is going slowly. You may remember that when the initial reveal happened, the game was confirmed for the Switch. The good news is that nothing has changed on this front, and we’ve heard from head coach John Lafleur.

During a Reddit AMA a while ago, Lafleur commented on the Switch version of Overwatch 2. While Blizzard is working hard to make sure all of our platforms get the best experience, even in PvE, regarding the Nintendo console, he admitted that the device is “a little trickier than the others, and we’ve got to deliver concessions there.

Lafleur’s full words:

“As hardware has progressed since Overwatch launched, we’re expanding the OW2 engine with more cutting edge features. However, we’re also working hard to make sure all of our platforms get the best experience, even in PvE. Switching is a little trickier than some, and we have to make some compromises there. That’s why. Reason, some high-end visual improvements may not be visible there.We will focus on implementing all features related to the gameplay first and then focus on additional features as much as possible.

An Overwatch 2 release window has yet to be announced.
