Update: During a panel at BlizzCon, director Jeff Kaplan confirmed that Overwatch 2 will be on Switch. There’s still no word on a release window at this time.


Original: Overwatch just launched on Switch last month, but the game itself has been out for awhile. At BlizzCon today, Blizzard announced big plans for the IP by revealing Overwatch 2.

There hasn’t been much news to go on as far as when Overwatch 2 is releasing and what platforms it’ll be on. However, we’ve now been able to download a fact sheet that lists the title for Switch in addition to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. There is no release window at this time.

Here’s the full announcement for Overwatch 2, along with the fact sheet and trailers:

System: Switch
Release date: October 15, 2019
Developer: Blizzard / Iron Galaxy Studios
Publisher: Blizzard


Overwatch took the world by storm when it released in 2016, and even now years later it has grown into a property worth billions of dollars. The Switch version sees its release in 2019 three years after its launch on PC and consoles, sporting newly featured gyro controls and the ability to make the experience portable. But as great as Overwatch is, are the sacrifices made to run on what is essentially a tablet worth it at the end of the day? Parity is key here, but Switch finds itself in a situation of the age old saying, “Just because you could, doesn’t necessarily mean you should.”

Blizzard has issued a new patch for Overwatch on Switch. Today’s update includes some bug fixes plus more.

Here are the full patch notes:

Overwatch first arrived in 2016, though it has just now landed on Switch. Director Jeff Kaplan explained why it took some time for Blizzard to release its game on the platform in an interview with Ars Technica.

Blizzard’s Wes Yanagi reconfirmed that Overwatch for Switch first came to be a year ago, around the time that Diablo III came to the system. Kaplan said that the team was initially a bit reluctant to move ahead with porting Overwatch since they knew it wouldn’t look just how it does on PC, but eventually got past that hurdle and realized that it’s not all about graphics.

It took quite some time, but Overwatch finally made it to Switch this week. As is traditional for Digital Foundry, the outlet has examined the port from a technical perspective.

Here are the highlights:

After previously appearing on other platforms, the shooter Overwatch made the jump to Switch today. See how it stacks up to the PlayStation 4 version below.
