Overwatch 2 will allow KBM on console, but you'll be up against PC players


Overwatch 2's Season 18 brings native support for keyboard and mouse on console.

Overwatch 2 console players will officially be able to use a keyboard and mouse starting with the release of Season 18. For players who switch to the Mouse and Keyboard Pool, "your internal MMR, skill ratings and ranks for all game modes will be separate from your statistics in the Controller Pool," according to the patch notes. This group won't have access to aim assist, as has been the case and will continue to be for PC players using a controller.
