Blizzard has announced that Overwatch is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on April 14 alongside the launch of Season 2 “Summit” and the LE SSERAFIM collaboration. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch features improved visuals, higher fidelity audio, and 60 FPS in both docked and handheld modes.

Overwatch 2 initially released in 2022 as a free-to-play sequel to the 2016 hero shooter. While the game was supposed to release a full PvE campaign, Blizzard cancelled the narrative component in 2024. Instead, the game has received collaborations with media properties such as Diablo, Cowboy Bebop, Transformers, Gundam Wing, Street Fighter 6, and most recently, NieR: Automata. The game was rebranded to its original Overwatch title on February 10 with the launch of Season 1 “Reign of Talon.”
