Overwatch 2 system requirements and gaming PCs

Overwatch 2 (or OW2 for short) is the free-to-play sequel to the popular 2016 hero shooter game Overwatch. Developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, and in a similar fashion to its predecessor, this first-person shooter’s requirements aren’t too demanding. But, as with most PC games, if you’re looking to crank up the settings to their maximum and play at 4K with high frame rates, you won’t be able to get away with a machine with a decade-old GPU. 

Most notably, the game gets its performance capabilities from the processor, graphics card and RAM. So, making sure they line up with the requirements and specifications listed by the developers at Blizzard Entertainment will stand you in good stead.

If upon cross-referencing your build to the specifications in the tables below you find that they fall short, you may need to think about either upgrading individual components, or simply upgrading to a new PC entirely. Both of these options can be fulfilled by us here at Chillblast, and we even have a dedicated list of Overwatch 2 PCs that we think will provide a top-notch experience, no matter your budget.

So, let’s take a look at Overwatch 2 and see just what you need to run it (and how you can build a PC to make the most of it).
