Overwatch, Blizzard’s popular multiplayer shooter is now optimized for Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. Anew patch was released on all platformsyesterday, adding three new graphics options on Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox consoles.

Similar to what Codemasters did on Dirt 5, Overwatch on Xbox Series X|S allows gamers to either prioritize resolution, image quality, or framerate. Support for 120FPS is really good news as it can make a notable difference in fast-paced first-person shooters.

You can find below all the details about Overwatch’s 3 new visual modes on Xbox Series X|S consoles:

As Overwatch will celebrate its fifth anniversary in May, it’s nice to see Blizzard making the effort to optimize the game for Microsoft’s new consoles, especially since Overwatch 2 is already in development. It’s also worth noting that the game has yet to be optimized for PlayStation 5 consoles, so Overwatch is currently best-played on Xbox Series X|S consoles or PC.

Overwatch probably doesn’t enjoy the same level of attention as free-to-play battle royale games like Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, or Fortnite these days, though its squad-based combat remains very enjoyable. As Overwatch 2 still has no release date, Overwatch will now really shine on Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S consoles.
