As we can see, the requirements of the PC version of Overwatch 2 are a little more demanding than those of the previous game, but still not particularly exorbitant, with Blizzard’s shooter that should run more than discreetly even on configurations with a few years on the shoulders. Obviously, keep in mind that some specifications may vary as we get closer to the official launch of the game.
As announced by Blizzard, the Overwatch 2 beta will be available only on PC and focused on 5 vs 5 PvP and will allow you to try the new hero Sojorn and the maps Circuit Royal, Escort, Midtown and Colosseum. There will also be the new Push mode and some substantial reworkings of well-known heroes, including Orisa, Doomfist, Bastion and Sombra.
