With the Switch 2 out, some owners will probably wonder if they can keep grinding Overwatch 2 on their new handheld. After all, having the possibility to game on the go or away from the desk is certainly a commodity many enjoy.
For those wondering, we have all the information about Blizzard's hero shooter availability on the newest Nintendo hardware.
Is Overwatch 2 available on the Switch 2?
Yes, Overwatch 2 can be played on the Nintendo Switch 2. Players will only have to look up the game on the digital eShop and download it to be able to enjoy it.
However, it is worth mentioning that this is not an improved version of Blizzard's shooter. Instead, this is the same version that Switch 1 users can also download.
With that said, don't expect any upgrades or better optimization as the game is meant to run on both systems. Blizzard hasn't said anything about a Switch 2 version, so we will have to wait and see if Team 4 can work on a port that takes better advantage of the new system's capabilities.
Players will probably have to wait until a port comes out to be able to use the new Joy-Con's mouse capabilities in the game.
Do I need Switch Online to play Overwatch 2?
No! Just like with almost every free-to-play game, users don't need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to enjoy Overwatch 2. In other words, you will be able to look for games across the different game modes without having to pay for the online membership.
A stable Wi-Fi connection and a Nintendo account are the only things needed to enjoy the multiplayer-focused title.
