Overwatch Is Out Now For Switch 2, But It’s Got Some Performance Issues
Blizzard launched Overwatch (the free-to-play competitive shooter formerly known as Overwatch 2) on Nintendo Switch 2, but the release encountered frame rate issues on the new Nintendo hardware. Players reported that the game was locked at 30 frames per second, significantly lower than intended. Blizzard promptly acknowledged the problem in an official statement, confirming awareness of the unexpected FPS limit and committing to develop and release a patch to resolve the technical issue. The developer assured players concerned about the frame rate limitations that a fix was already in active development and would be deployed soon. Following the initial report of launch day issues, game director Aaron Keller subsequently confirmed that the bug causing the problematic 30fps cap had been successfully resolved. The rapid resolution demonstrates Blizzard’s commitment to addressing technical issues affecting the Switch 2 version shortly after launch.
