The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch launched with Season 2 but runs at a locked 30 frames per second, falling short of Blizzard's promise for 60fps performance in both docked and handheld modes. Players report sluggish movement and imprecise aiming compared to other platforms. Blizzard has acknowledged the framerate issue and is working on a patch.
Overwatch received its Switch 2 update alongside the release of Season 2, which introduced the new DPS hero Sierra. The port was advertised to deliver up to 60fps on Nintendo's latest console, a significant upgrade from the original Switch version's struggling 30fps performance. However, the game currently operates at a locked 30fps whether docked or in handheld mode, leading to choppy sprinting and less precise aiming for players accustomed to smoother framerates on platforms like PlayStation.
