'Overwatch 2' requires slightly beefier PC specs than the original game.

Update: Added confirmation that the specs from the second Overwatch 2 beta remain the same for the live game.

Overwatch 2 is almost here, at long last. Folks who are interested in diving into the game on PC may want to know what the system requirements are. Look no further, because I’ve got you covered.

It’s worth noting that Blizzard hasn’t updated the specs on its site since the second Overwatch 2 beta. However, I’ve gotten confirmation that the system requirements are the same for the live game.

Anyway, here’s the good news: you won’t need a very powerful rig to play Overwatch 2. As it stands, the minimum system requirements are as follows:

Blizzard has bumped up the framerate cap from 400 frames per second in the original game to an obscene 600 fps in Overwatch 2. Check out a video of the game running on a new GeForce RTX 4090 GPU:
