A new Overwatch 2 fan video compares the game’s visuals on the PS4, PS5, and Switch versions. The movie examines several visual aspects of Overwatch 2 on all three platforms and gives players a solid idea of how the tile would seem on their preferred console. The comparison video is being released simultaneously as some console players still need help connecting to Overwatch 2’s servers, which prevents them from playing the freshly released shooter.
The 2016 successful online hero shooter Overwatch by Blizzard has a sequel, Overwatch 2, which was released in early October to significantly mixed reviews from players. While there have been the typical balance complaints that accompany the release of almost every multiplayer shooter, and some players have complained that Overwatch 2 feels too floaty compared to its predecessor, the game has received praise for its improvements to the original’s successful formula.
ElAnalistaDeBits uploaded a 12-minute video on YouTube in which the performance of Overwatch 2 in many spheres—including quality, loading times, and framerate—is compared. Comparisons for the PS5 version of the game include Resolution, Balanced, and Performance modes. The Switch and PS4 versions of the game manage to hold their own fairly well despite their outdated hardware, loading a map on the PS5 taking only 5 seconds compared to 14–15 seconds on the Switch and PS4.
While there are undoubtedly some visual changes between platforms, Overwatch 2 is still a beautiful game regardless of the forum on which people decide to play it. Assuring that missed frames won’t prevent players from enjoying the action, the game also boasts an almost flawless framerate, whether at the 30 frames per second available on Switch or 120 frames per second when operating in Performance mode on PS5. The good news for a game where it takes five years to acquire all of Kiriko’s cosmetics is that this comparative video demonstrates that players are in for a visual treat no matter where they choose to play Blizzard’s stylish and quick-paced shooter.
