Aaron Keller, the director of Overwatch, has announced that the bug causing the 30 FPS cap on Switch 2 has been fixed.

Original article

This week, Overwatch came to Switch 2 alongside Season 2. On paper, this is excellent news, as the competitive FPS is now optimized for Nintendo’s latest console.

On the Switch 2, the game is supposed to run at 60 FPS in both TV and handheld modes. However, recent reports point to significant technical issues. Overwatch suffers from severe frame rate drops on the Switch 2 and is sometimes capped at 30 FPS in certain situations. Blizzard has acknowledged these issues.

"We are aware of issue with Nintendo Switch 2 performance, which is lower than normal. We are currently working on a patch to resolve this."

A patch should therefore be released soon.
