Overwatch Season 2: Summit Launches With Sierra and 60 FPS Switch 2 Edition

The rollout signals a push for platform parity through a native Switch 2 version that raises fidelity and smooths performance.

Overview

  • Season 2, which went live Tuesday, adds Sierra as a Recon/DPS hero who uses a Helix rifle, a tracking dart, an anchor drone for mobility, a shock grenade, and the Trailblazer ultimate.
  • Operation: Grand Mesa begins with the launch and runs for three weeks through May 4, offering challenges that unlock Sierra lore and event rewards.
  • A dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 edition is available with improved visuals, higher‑fidelity audio, and up to 60 frames per second in handheld and docked play, addressing long‑standing performance gaps on Nintendo hardware.
  • Post‑match accolades return with an updated MVP spotlight, and Blizzard has added an optional voice chat window on the victory screen that can include both teams.
  • Map and mode updates include a reworked Antarctic Peninsula for cleaner fights, Lijiang Night Market joining Stadium, Ramattra entering Stadium now, and Jetpack Cat (Fika) slated to arrive midseason.
