Lately we are returning to talk about the new Overwatch 2 very frequently. Blizzard’s competitive FPS is about to hit the market after years of waiting, and less and less are missing from the fateful day of day one. While waiting to get our hands on the title again, in recent days the US company has wanted to lift the veil on a series of information and curiosities on the new iteration of its first-person hero shooter.

As we can read on the pages of GameRant Blizzard has already outlined some methods by which it will try to prevent the misbehavior of cheaters in Overwatch 2. For example, any player who wants to access the game will have to necessarily link a phone number to your game account to start the title. In addition to this, Blizzard has already announced on their site that they have been working on an anti-cheat system called the Defense Matrix.
The work that this system will do will act on several fronts, and will eliminate all those toxic interactions that can occur during a game of Overwatch 2. In short, Blizzard intends to get off on the right foot with the new iteration of Overwatch, underlining a strong commitment against unfair players. Finally, remember that the launch of Overwatch 2 is very close, with the free-to-play title that will debut on the market next October 4 on the platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC .
