From Twitter comes a new and interesting video starring one of the most notable video games in the Nintendo Switch catalogue. Specifically, it’s Overwatch.
The recently released video celebrates the fact that the title is now available in cross-play beta, which will allow users to form teams regardless of their platform. That said, all players will need to create a Battle.net account to link to their console accounts, and everyone who logs into Overwatch by the end of 2021 will receive a “Golden Loot Box” to celebrate.
This will allow Nintendo Switch users to play with PC, Playstation and Xbox users, although for now this beta does not include cross-progression and console players will not be paired with PC players during competitive matches. More details on the beta can be found on the official website and below is the video.
Cross-Play has arrived.
