Overwatch 2 ‘unplayable’ on PS5, users claim

PS5 console users complain about lagging and performance issues whilst playing the new season of Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 season 8 just went live this week, and users have already begun complaining that the game is 'unplayable' on PS5 consoles.

Players complained about facing performance issues and lagging menus whilst playing the game on the console, with frames dropping below 20fps.

"I play on PS5 with 120 Hz monitor and settings for that output, but randomly either in [fights] or walking back from spawn, even on menus, I am dropping down to what seems like single digit to low double digit frames per second," a player who goes by Sartell wrote.

Blizzard has already commented on the issue but haven't specified when the issue will be fixed. "We are investigating reports of performance issues for some platforms."

Players who had anticipated the new season might have to wait for a fix to enjoy the new game character Mauga, unless they want to switch to a different console.
