Overwatch 2 Crossplay Features
What is the Crossplay feature? Crossplay is a feature that allows players to play games online real-time with other players even though using a different platform.
As we know, Overwatch 2 was released for various platforms such as Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Windows.
Now you don't need to have the same video game platform as your friend to play.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced plans for this crossplay feature since last year and after receiving many requests from Overwatch fans, this feature is now available in Overwatch 2.
How Crossplay Works in Overwatch 2
This feature can be used for all game modes in Overwatch 2 except mode Competitive. In this game mode, players will be divided into two groups depending on the system they use, namely video game consoles and PCs.
In order to remain balanced, users of the PC platform and other video game consoles will not be grouped together in fashion Competitive.
For example, you will play Overwatch 2 using a PS4 while your friend is using a PC. You can only play together in other game modes except mode Competitive.
Any group consisting of players with different platforms will not be included in the group matchmaking.
If players from non-PC game platforms want to continue to do battle with players who use PC, then they have to do the match without the Aim Assist feature.
The feature will be disabled by default by this game.
This is done by Blizzard Entertainment to keep the game balanced if there are groups using different platforms in the mode Competitive.
