Overwatch's hardware requirements: should run on just about any system

For those of you who have closed beta keys for Blizzard's Overwatch, you’re going to need some fairly mild hardware to run the title.

Blizzard giff Beta access.

Makes sense given that its essentially competing against tf2

True, but the game still looks great... Im a bit surprised to be honest... Thought it would need at least a decent strong machine...

Also want Beta Access

Nice though because the game doesnt look bad, the style still looks great I think, and it will run on my laptop if i'm traveling.

The beta looks pretty good so far also, nice choice of heroes already

Been watching BETA videos.

Looks so much fun!

Sooo, has anyone's account been flagged yet? I've been watching streams and it looks insanely fun. Need access. [emoji14]

Most likely only international servers? Then we cannot play it here, due to FPS games being sensitive to latency

Lazygamer published an article which also addresses the latency issue. Seems to run quite well from ZA.

I live in Denmark though, so servers should be relatively close, probably Frankfurt.

Hmmm...I play CoD and BF4 just fine at around 170ms ping on EU servers?

Unless run into a pro with overly fast reflexes the experience is perfectly fine.

Latency won't bug me on this game.

This isn't good. $60 for a multiplayer only game with no local servers? No thanks.

I agree, they may be Blizzard but even still it's hard to compete with a $60 in a what seems to be a F2P market. Even Unreal Tournament is going to be free.

I want to play this on Xbox or ps
