AMD's latest drivers are ready for Overwatch 2's launch

AMD has just released AMD Software Adrenalin Edition version 22.10.1, which offers users of Radeon graphics cards game-specific optimisations for Overwatch 2, which is launching later today.

Overwatch 2 will replace Overwatch as Blizzard's premiere shooter, adding more heroes, new mechanics, and more focused 5 vs 5 battles. In time, the game will also feature co-operative modes, giving the game a broader appeal than Overwatch 1.

Blizzard is launching Overwatch 2 as a free-to-play game, which means that everyone will be able to enjoy the game without paying a penny. That said, micro-transactions and other paid aspects of the game will be there to vacuum the money from the wallets of the players who let it.
