More details about the game
Overwatch 2 is a hero shooter game, where players have to select a hero character from a given 35 characters. There are many classes for the characters from damage class to support and tank classes with separate responsibilities. In this FPS game, players can choose to combat in different modes and maps.
Additionally, they can choose either competitive matches or casual matches for their enjoyment.

This game’s PvP mode Push, which is similar to tug of war, brought much attention to the game.
