Overwatch 2 Gameplay

"Overwatch 2" is a game where you choose a "hero" from a group of 35 characters and play in teams against each other. These heroes are split into three categories: damage (offensive), support (healing and buffing), and tank (creating space for the team).

Each hero has unique abilities, and the game mainly focuses on player versus player combat in different modes and maps. In the past, teams had six players, but they reduced it to five in Overwatch 2 to make the game faster and more straightforward.

There's a new mode called "Push," where teams try to control a robot that pushes a payload to the enemy's side of the map. The game also introduced a battle pass system for cosmetic items, making it free to play. Players can access both PC and console versions with the same account, and there are plans for story-based missions and special challenges to improve your skills with different heroes.
