Overview
- Season 2: Summit went live Tuesday, April 14 across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2, introducing the new DPS hero Sierra and the Operation: Grand Mesa event.
- The Switch 2 edition arrived the same day with promises of better visuals, higher‑fidelity audio and up to 60 FPS in both docked and handheld modes.
- Following Wednesday player reports that performance sits near 30 FPS, Blizzard acknowledged an FPS limit lower than intended on Switch 2 and said a patch is in the works.
- Smoother 60 FPS would make handheld play feel more responsive for aiming and camera movement, so the current cap leaves Switch 2 users with a slower, less competitive experience.
- Season 2 also brings a reworked Antarctic Peninsula map and the return of post‑match accolades, as Overwatch’s 2026 relaunch shifts the series to a year‑long ‘Reign of Talon’ story with regular hero additions.
