Overwatch 2 Patch Notes Revealed for February 21 Update

A new update for Blizzard's Overwatch 2 has today rolled out across all platforms. Since releasing in early access in the back half of 2022, Blizzard has continued to support Overwatch 2 with a number of different patches and even some notable crossovers. And while today's patch is by no means a massive one, it should still improve Overwatch 2 for those playing the multiplayer shooter across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC platforms. 

For the most part, today's update for Overwatch 2, which is version 3.47, is incredibly basic. Most of what this update looks to do is rectify a number of bugs and other issues that players have been reporting to Blizzard in recent weeks. On the gameplay front, essentially nothing major has been altered. Blizzard has made a handful of small tweaks to the characters Echo and Symmetra, but otherwise, this is definitely one of the least notable patches that OW2 has received so far in 2023.
