    Overwatch 2 is Officially Out of Early Access

    It was apparently in early access for over five seasons now.

    Blizzard says that Overwatch 2 is now out of its early access period. This news comes as the game kicks off Season 6 alongside a release on Steam. Season 6 offers the usual assortment of new content and a new season pass, but the biggest feature released today is the first bit of PvE content.

    Overwatch 2: Invasion offers players access to new modes (Flashpoint), new story missions, a new Hero (Illari), and new...

    Overwatch 2 Coming to Steam, More Blizzard Titles Also Possibly Coming

    The hero-based shooter arrives in August.

    Well this is certainly an interesting little twist. A Steam page for Blizzard's Overwatch 2 was just put up. The planned release date listed on the Steam Overwatch 2 page is August 10, 2023 even though it has been available on Battle.net and consoles since at least October 4, 2022. The August 10th release date on Steam is the same day that its next season, Season 6: Invasion, is slated to begin.

    Three Overwatch 2 Story Missions to Cost $15

    Overwatch 2: Invasion is the start of the story content for Overwatch 2, but it comes with a price.

    The PvE story content for Overwatch 2 was always going to have some charge associated with it. The plan was to have the PvE content cost a base fee for a full story campaign while the multiplayer remained free. "Free" if you ignore the cosmetic microtransactions, of course.

    Then came the news that Blizzard scrapped their PvE Hero content for Overwatch 2. At least,...

    Blizzard Cancels PvE Hero Content for Overwatch 2

    The reason for Overwatch 2 even being announced is now cancelled.

    Overwatch 2 was announced back at BlizzCon 2019 alongside the promise that it was going to include this big PvE Hero component. A PvE Hero mode would further the Overwatch story and lore along with including various progression systems. It was the single biggest selling point on why a sequel needed to happen at all.

    The idea was going to be that the new PvE content would be the focal point of the sequel....

This patch will offer some buffs to most of the support Heroes in Overwatch 2, except for Mercy who is actually getting nerfed a bit.

    When it comes to support Heroes in ranked and "high level play" Mercy was...

    Blizzard Wants to Make Overwatch 2 Ranked Play Suck a Little Less

    The community has been vocal about their problems with ranked play and changes are coming.

    In the coming weeks, Blizzard plans to make some changes to Overwatch 2 that should make both matchmaking and ranked competitive play a little bit better. These are areas that fans have been complaining about for months, ever since the game's release really, that are only now getting addressed.

    In their latest developer blog, Blizzard says that they have "seen feedback on matches...

    Total Gaming Network's 2022 Games of the Year

    It is time once more to talk about the best games that have come out over the past year. As the case has been with previous years, this list of games only includes the titles that I have personally played to some degree. In addition, the games on this list are games that were released in 2022 unless otherwise stated for some specific reason. As I am the only one posting content on the site, this is as much a "Total Gaming Network Game of the Year" as it is my personal Game of the Year selection. ...

    Critical Issue Delays Mei's Return to Overwatch 2

    The mid-season patch has been delayed to an unspecified time.

    On October 31, Blizzard gave Mei mains at least one reason to be afraid. It was that day when Mei was disabled in Overwatch 2 due to an issue with her Ice Wall ability letting players access inaccessible places and out of bounds areas in maps. A fixed Mei was set to return as part of the mid-season update, but that patch has now encountered some issues of its own. That update was initially set to be out today for players....

    Double XP and a Free Skin Offered as Apology for Overwatch 2's Bad Launch

    What will the apology compensation be for Overwatch 2 as a whole though?

    Blizzard is offering players double XP, a weapon charm, and a free skin in an effort to apologize for the abysmal launch of Overwatch 2. The studio extended a written apology to fans for the myriad of issues that impacted the game for several days right when the game launched on October 4, 2022.

    Overwatch 2 will have several double XP weekends coming up that will let players catch up. The game was...

    Modern Warfare 2 Players Need a Phone Number to Play

    Pre-paid phone numbers may not work.

    Activision Blizzard seems to be very keen on ensuring their potential players have mobile phones. You guys all have phones, right? When Overwatch 2 launched just last week, Blizzard had a policy in place right from the get-go that you needed a cellphone in order to play the game. The catch there was that this ruled out those using pre-paid phones.

    For a lot of people, this meant that they were now unable to play the game (Overwatch)...

    Overwatch 2 Suffering from DDoS Attacks on Launch Day

    Blizzard and server issues with a new game launch, name a more iconic duo.

    Overwatch 2 technically launched today, and you may be inclined to believe that were you able to actually get into the game. Unfortunately for most people not in a special priority queue, you have been met with long login wait times or just no response from the server at all.

    According to Blizzard president Mike Ybarra, the Overwatch 2 servers have been hit with "a mass DDoS attack." According...

  • Overwatch 2 Framerate Cap Upped to 600 FPS

    Overwatch 2 Framerate Cap Upped to 600 FPS

    This is all due to the power of the upcoming RTX 4090.

    When Overwatch 2 comes out, you will be able to run it at 600 FPS if you want (and can). This is apparently thanks to Nvidia teaming up with Blizzard on Nvidia Reflex support for Overwatch 2, which subsequently allowed the studios to increase the cap. The two companies are taking that slow and pathetic 400 FPS cap from the first Overwatch and cranking it up another 200 FPS.

    Nvidia confirmed that framerates of over...

    Overwatch, Diablo, and Call of Duty Coming to Game Pass

    Cross-platform play also confirmed for these Activision Blizzard titles.

    Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, took not to the Xbox Wire page but rather to the official Microsoft Blog to talk about some of the changes and concerns over Microsoft's potential acquisition of Activision Blizzard. In the blog, Spencer tries to put to bed fears that long-standing multi-platform titles like Call of Duty would suddenly become Xbox exclusive.

    In the blog post, Spencer also says that franchises...

    Blizzard to Halt Overwatch Loot Box Sales this Month

    The end of a (crappy) era.

    We already knew that Blizzard was doing away with paid loot boxes when Overwatch 2 launches in October, but we did not know until today when they would stop selling loot boxes in the original Overwatch. A new update from Blizzard says that they will finally sunset the sale of paid loot boxes on August 30.

    Ahead of that date, Blizzard is doing one last hurrah with an Anniversary Remix event. The event, which began today, will give you about three...
