Blizzard unveils the minimum and recommended requirements for Overwatch 2 first PvP beta distributed to players.
Overwatch 2 celebrates its first beta period between April 26 and May 17. This playable preview available to players allows them to explore some of the changes that the sequel will bring, such as the changes that Orisa, Doomfist and Sombra have received, as well as the debut of Sojourn as a new heroine.
