Normally, game developers publish the minimum and recommended requirements well in advance. Well, Blizzard has waited a few hours before the overwatch 2 release to post the requirements. The game launches tomorrow, October 4th, and honestly, the game requirements aren’t that big of a deal.
The new Overwatch 2 is a review of the previous installment and is completely free. Despite being free, we have the Watchpoint Pack which allows us to access premium content. The new installment includes a story mode within the cooperative mode, as well as a new system of talents and levels.
Nor is it asking for great requirements
The second installment of this popular game is not only will release on PCwill also reach the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Additionally, it will also be available in the Xbox One, PS4 and also the Switch. This is possible for Cartoon-type graphics, which are easier to render, so to speak.
Within the requirements, we do not see very high demands either. They can be used older processors to the first AMD Ryzen without major problems. According to the Graphic cardit is recommended at least NVIDIA GTX 660 and AMD Radeon HD 7950, graphics cards that have been on the market for more than 10 years. So it is quite accessible to everyone without the need for major updates.
Perhaps the only striking thing is that they require at least 6 GB of RAM. 10 years ago the usual trend was to build computers with 4 GB of RAM, so someone will have to expand their PC a bit if they want to enjoy this game.
Indicate that the most outstanding news in recent days has been the shutdown of the Overwatch servers. For a few hours you can no longer play the first installment, to prepare the servers. Migrating to Overwatch 2 is pretty time-consuming and expensive, so yesterday was the last day the first installment could be played.
Note that Overwatch 2 also makes important changes to obtaining items. I know remove the controversial loot boxes and adopts the mechanism of Fortnite. They add the Season Passes and they will have a store with skins that we can buy depending on whether we are interested or not. It thus adapts to the demands of users and to that of more and more regulators, and there are many countries that force not to use this type of box or severely limit its use.
