🎮 Overwatch on the Go

If you’ve been grinding Overwatch 2 on your original Nintendo Switch — we see you. You’ve pulled off clutches, out-healed the chaos, and survived enemy ult storms all on a system that tried its best. 💪

But it’s time to meet your new co-op partner: the Nintendo Switch 2.
And spoiler alert: this isn’t just an upgrade. It’s your new battlefield buddy — faster, sharper, louder, smoother, and all-around better at helping you climb the ranks or enjoy a casual payload Push on the couch.

If you are curious to see it in action yourself then you can view the video above by spartanbpun demonstrating how the game runs on the switch 2.
