Final thoughts
From the lists above you can see that most PCs should be able to handle the game. Due to the first paced competitive nature of the game, we do recommend that your PC is slightly above the recommended so that you can have lightning-fast reactions and you aren’t left frustrated by any frame drops. If you could already handle the original then Overwatch 2 shouldn’t present any problems at all.
