Since Overwatch was released, it has been a mass phenomenon like few other games. Its theme, its gameplay never seen before, its peculiar graphics and its community have catapulted it to a new level. But as everything has to evolve and Blizzard knows it, so it has arranged a new game that as expected it has called Overwatch 2, which will enter the BETA phase for PC shortly and as expected we already have its requirements in PC.
You may be “hyped” euphoric and above all very excited, and you’re doing well, because the new Blizzard promises to arrive strong and with some really interesting requirements that continue the saga for PC in the best way. Now you will know if your PC can handle it.
Overwatch 2, is your PC ready for this great game?
Players from North America, Europe, Latin America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and a large part of Asia will be able to enjoy the Open Beta of this game for a little over a day, and although there have been access problems in certain parts of the world due to the avalanche of users, the truth is that it seems that this new title can already be enjoyed without too many connection problems.
The BETA will be open until May 17 where, curiously, these requirements that we are going to see have had to be filtered because Blizzard has not made an official statement about them, supposedly to keep everything under control while waiting for this phase to be completed and so modify them, or not.
Therefore, the prerequisites in this BETA are the following, which, as we say, could vary somewhat in the final phase of the game if the company deems it appropriate.
Minimum requirements to play at 30 FPS
- Operating System: Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10 64-bit (Latest Service Pack).
- Processor: Intel Core i3 or AMD Phenom X3 8650 .
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600 series or AMD Radeon HD 7000 series.
- Memory: 6GB RAM .
- Storage: 50 GB of available hard disk space.
Recommended requirements to play at 60 FPS
- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit (latest Service Pack).
- Processor: Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 5 .
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD R9 380 .
- Memory: 8GB RAM .
- Storage: 50 GB of available hard disk space.
As we can see, the requirements are really affordable, not to say low, so we expect a great optimization of the game for any PC, since neither the processors as such nor the graphics cards are mid-range, but rather low today, which They can be found with more than interesting prices, even second-hand.
We also understand and although it is not specified that the resolution at which Blizzard offers this data is 1080p , which is still the most used today for this title, but due to the few requirements of this, more and more users are giving the jump to 2K or 4K because they have solvent hardware.
Similarly, we have to keep in mind that the game will also be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S , where of course Nintendo joins the party with Switch.
