Normally, game developers publish the minimum and recommended requirements well in advance. Well, Blizzard waited a few hours before the Overwatch 2 version to post the terms. The game launches tomorrow, October 4, and honestly, the game requirements aren’t that great.
The new Overwatch 2 is an overhaul of the previous installment and is completely free. Although it is free, we have the Watchpoint Pack which allows us to access premium content. The new episode includes a story mode in the cooperative mode, as well as a new talent and level system.
It also does not ask for great demands
The second part of this popular game is not only will be released on PCwill also reach PS5 and Xbox Series X. Additionally, it will also be available in the Xbox One, PS4 and also Nintendo Switch. This is possible for Cartoon-like graphics, which are easier to render, so to speak.
In the requirements we also do not see very high requirements. They can be used old processors at first AMD Ryzen without major problems. According to Graphic cardit is recommended at least NVIDIA GTX 660 and AMD Radeon HD 7950, graphics cards that have been on the market for more than 10 years. It is therefore quite accessible to everyone without the need for major updates.
Perhaps the only striking thing is that they demand at least 6 GB of RAM. 10 years ago, the usual trend was to build computers with 4 GB of RAM, so someone will have to expand their PC a bit if they want to enjoy this game.
Indicate that the most striking news of recent days has been the Overwatch servers shut down. For a few hours, you can no longer play the first opus, to prepare the servers. Migration to Overwatch 2 is quite long and expensive, so yesterday was the last day the first episode could be played.
Note that Overwatch 2 also brings significant changes to obtaining items. I know remove controversial loot boxes and adopts the mechanism of Fortnite. They are adding the Season Passes and they will have a store with skins that we can buy depending on whether we are interested or not. It thus adapts to the demands of users and to those of more and more regulators, and there are many countries which impose not to use this type of box or severely limit its use.
