It’s worth keeping in mind that Overwatch is an online-only game, so while it holds up well in handheld mode, you won’t be getting any training sessions in on the subway or in an airplane. I found the game’s motion controls to be useful for quickly aiming at enemies above and below me, and can see myself playing with them on for good. There are included gyro presets for handheld, controller and detached Joy-Con play, and like other versions of Overwatch, a slew of control customization options (including the ability to set unique control schemes for each hero).

Like in other Switch shooters such as Splatoon 2 and Doom, you can aim by simply tilting your console (or Pro Controller), giving you the kind of mouse-like immediacy you simply won’t get on a controller. My colleague and avid Overwatch player Phillip Tracy reported having similar problems.įortunately, this issue is alleviated slightly thanks to gyro controls, which are exclusive to Overwatch’s Switch version. I found playing on my standard Switch to be mostly comfortable, but as I’ve experienced with Fortnite and other shooters, my hands did cramp up a bit when trying to take down enemies with the Joy-Cons’ tiny analog sticks and buttons. Of course, Overwatch on Switch is also made unique by the fact that you can play it in handheld mode on your Switch or Switch Lite. The red orb problem seems pretty widespread, so here’s hoping it gets addressed in a future patch. I found that this problem usually resolves itself by the time my team and I started heading towards the objective, but I did load into one match mid-game in which I was literally shooting at a bunch of red circles. Overwatch does have one strange, significant quirk on Switch: players will occasionally spawn as red orbs of light at the start of a match (possibly due to character models taking longer to load on Switch). This is likely due to the game's clean, not-overly-demanding visual style, which is known to hold up well even on laptops with integrated graphics.

I noticed some decidedly lower-resolution textures when running around maps such as Route 66 and King's Row, but overall, the game’s colorful, Disney-esque art style still popped in both docked and handheld mode. But unlike ports such as Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus or Mortal Kombat 11, the difference between Overwatch’s PS4/Xbox One and Switch versions isn’t a jarring one. Like most Switch ports of AAA games, Overwatch’s visuals have been toned down a bit in order for the game to run well on Nintendo’s relatively underpowered hardware. Here’s what we like (and don’t like) about Overwatch on Switch after a few days with Blizzard’s big port.

Fortunately, Overwatch makes a mostly smooth transition to Nintendo’s hybrid portable console, delivering the same frenetic 6-on-6 objective-based action with some minor performance sacrifices.
