A proper Overwatch Switch 2 version releases today, boasting 'up to' 60 FPS, as Reign of Talon Season 2 arrives

Season 2 of the fresh-look Overwatch (formerly Overwatch 2) launches today, bringing a fresh hero, a fresh event, a reworked map and some hero changes.

But most notably it signals the launch of a proper Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game.

This boasts improved visuals and sound quality and - apparently - up to 60 FPS performance both docked and handheld.

Finally.

Sierra is the new hero being introduced to Overwatch - the sixth new hero of 2026, with four more to come.

She's got lore ties to Soldier: 76 and Reaper, courtesy of a mother with a mysterious super soldier past, and she fills a damage role.

Overwatch - Official Season 2: Summit Trailer Watch on YouTube Sierra has a fancy rifle which shoots in a spiral pattern and gets more accurate the longer you fire, and can mark enemies with a homing beacon to attract her rifle shots.

On her arm is a drone she can launch to use like a mobile grappling point, and she's got a compact bomb she can throw to create a shockwave on impact.

Her ultimate deploys a low-flying, carpet-bombing drone attack.

Linked to Sierra is the new Grand Mesa event, which offers various challenges that will unlock lore about her - and other more cosmetic rewards - as you progress.

Elsewhere, the Antarctic Peninsula map has been reworked to "create cleaner engagements, smooth out team pushes, and make meaningful flank routes", according to the Overwatch website, and post-match accolades return.

These spotlight various players after a match's end, for varying reasons, and allow players to vote on their contribution.

But this time, 3D rendered characters replace cards.

In the slightly separate Stadium mode, where you progress through a kind of skill tree as you play, we're getting two new heroes: the tank Ramattra immediately, and then the new utility character Jetpack Cat mid-season.

Bertie's favourite character Juno, meanwhile, is being reworked in Stadium "for better balance and reliability".
