澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch has seemingly delivered a next-gen upgrade specific to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

Blizzard released the last night, documenting t𓆉he arrival of the Pachimarchi challenge and several other updates and bug fixes. The notes released on the Overwatch website make no reference to an upgrade, but those by community manager Josh Nash have a section dedicated to "Xbox updates."

That section suggests that Overwatch haꦯs been "optimized for Xbox Series X/S enhancements." The main change seems to be the addition of a "preferred mode" graphics option, which will allow players to switch between three graphical presets: 'Resolution' mode focuses on higher resolution at the cost of image quality, while 'Balanced' mode does the opposite. Finally, 'Framerate' mode prioritizes 120 fps at the cost of resolution and image quality, but you'll reportedly need a TV that supports 120Hz or a variable refresh rate to take advantage of max framerates.

While Overwatch's Xbox Series X upgrade is already in place, there's no word on a PS5 version anywhere in either the patch notes or on Blizzard's social channels. The vast majority of games that have been upgraded since the arrival of the new generation have extended their new tech to both consoles, and in an example as high-profile as Overwatch, it's surprising to see no mention of Sony's console. We've reached out to representatives from Blizzard and Activision for clarification abouﷺt both next-gen versionಌs.

If you're planning on holding out for a truly next-gen Overwatch experience, then you might want to wait for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch 2 - but be warned, it'll be a "pretty big d♚epartu𒅌re" from the game as it currently exists
