Just like its predecessor, players will be able to enjoy Overwatch 2 on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. These platforms include the recent PS5 and Xbox X|S Series as well. Speaking of crossplay, the game will allow players playing together on all platforms, and it will allow for cross-progression too.
When it comes to the latest entry in the franchise, players have seen a host of new features shown over the past few years. There will be a ‘talents’ progression system, where players can upgrade each hero’s abilities and power as they play co-op missions. This is similar to the Heroes of the Storm style approach, and it’s something a lot of Overwatch players wanted to see in the game.
