Yes, Overwatch 2 supports crossplay, but only partially.
Partially, Overwatch 2 supports limited crossplay. Full Crossplay is available only for Quick Play. Competitive mode has platform-based matchmaking. The game also features cross-progression, allowing you to sync your progress.
Overwatch 2 is available on the following platforms:
All platforms can play together in Quick Play and Arcade modes, creating a unified player pool. However, Competitive mode uses platform-based matchmaking pools. Console players (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) compete in console-only Competitive lobbies, while PC players have their own separate Competitive pool. Voice chat works across all platforms, but Discord is recommended when possible. In mixed parties, if a console player groups with a PC player, the entire party enters PC lobbies for all modes.
Overwatch 2 is an online-only team-based shooter requiring a constant internet connection. There is no offline mode or single-player campaign available.
Overwatch 2 does not support local split-screen co-op. All multiplayer is online-only, with each player requiring their own device and account.
The hybrid crossplay approach balances accessibility with competitive fairness. Console players can opt into PC pool by partying with PC friends, except for Competitive lobbies, where consoles and PC are separated. Crossplay is enabled by default, but disabling it significantly increases queue times.
Yes in Quick Play and Arcade modes. However, Competitive mode separates console players from PC players for balanced matchmaking.
Only if they're on the same platform type. Console players (PS, Xbox, Switch) compete together. PC players compete separately.
Yes, progress is synced through your Battle.net account, meaning all your hero unlocks, cosmetics, Battle Pass progress and Competitive rank will carry over between all platforms.
Only in Quick Play/Arcade if you party with a PC player, or if you choose to join PC lobbies. Competitive mode keeps console and PC players separate, with no way to rank up together.
