Overwatch will not support cross-play on Switch, or rather at least not at launch. Engadget confirmed the news through a statement provide by Blizzard.

 

“We’ve seen how compelling cross-system play can be for our community, and we’re excited about the potential. There’s still a lot of work to do on both our side and the platforms’ side to determine whether this is something that makes sense for Overwatch, and we’re keeping an eye on how cross-play systems and technology develop.”

 

Does this affect your decision to play or not?
