Can I run Overwatch? Blizzard’s hit first-person class shooter Overwatch is quickly becoming one of the most popular first-person shooter games. But what are the requirements for running the game comfortably? Overwatch is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It is expected to be re-released for the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X when they are released. Sadly if you wish to play Overwatch on an Apple device running macOS (or Linux), you will have to install Windows since it is not available at those platforms.
