Blizzard Patch Lifts Overwatch’s Switch 2 Frame-Rate Cap

The patch restores the performance Blizzard promised on Switch 2.

Overview

  • Blizzard released an update that removes a 30 fps lock in the Switch 2 port, bringing matches closer to the advertised 60 fps target.
  • An official side-by-side video shows the original Switch version next to the new build and touts sharper visuals, higher‑fidelity audio, and up to 60 fps in both modes.
  • Kotaku reports the game now plays better on Switch 2, though it still does not feel as solid as on PC or other consoles.
  • The Switch 2 version includes gyro aiming to help with precision, but it does not support the system’s mouse input as of now.
  • Alongside the performance fix, Blizzard hotfixed new hero Sierra by raising the cost of her lethal ultimate and boosting other parts of her kit.
