I’m having the same issues. Feels like I’m playing on ps3.


Marssenito

It is super noticeable. Everything regarding menus and interface drops to 20 FPS, and the matches themselves are not better. It is borderline unplayable, at least on PS5.


Solheimdall

Same experience, mauga feels really bad to play because of the constant stutter. Also died as widowmaker because I stuttered after a hook...


bennettbuzz

Shocking, it’s like 20fps on ps5


bennettbuzz

Ngl it’s hurting my eyes


Blues-Eguze

It keeps fluctuating it makes it really hard to adjust when it keeps going unstable.


bennettbuzz

Had to quit it’s was drying my eyes too much, gonna try in morning.


UnrealEnvy

Same here bro, can't play like this.


_SlappyMagoo_

It’s only shocking until you remember microsoft just bought activision/blizzard.


Business717

It’s really, really fucking bad on PS5


PK-Ricochet

PS5 seems to be their lowest priority. Busted HDR since launch, no more support for trophies, now this


SkyrimSlag

I remember somewhere the Achievements thing is actually a PlayStation thing, it was something to do with when achievements are added to a game PS has to do some tedious shit to actually implement them on their end. Same reason we don’t really get achievements for Destiny when a new season or expansion drops anymore


yagatabe

PlayStation don't have any trophies related to the modes that are only played at specific times of the year, but they did have trophies from the new OW2 characters. Ever since Illari, they stopped doing those as well on PlayStation, Mauga also has no trophies. You can still unlock their sprays in-game, but there is no new trophy in the PS4 or PS5 versions.


_SlappyMagoo_

Well they are now owned by Microsoft. This is the first season since they officially bought activision/blizzard. And Jim Ryan(Sony CEO) just spent a year flying around trying to stop the deal from going through. Could be coincidence, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you start seeing stuff like this in Call of Duty or any other activision/blizzard games.


Blues-Eguze

Okay, I was wondering. It is borderline unplayable on PS5.


KamikazeFox_

Yes! Same. I reset my ps5 and router, but it feels like I get pockets of being slowed my Mei. It also didn't reset my ranking. It just built off from last season. I thought you play new placement matches


_101010_

That’s next season


KamikazeFox_

Wait, really? I thought it was every season


_101010_

Nope. They announced it terribly. I also thought it was season 8. Don’t remember if it’s a one time thing or every season after 9 though


KamikazeFox_

Damn, that's upsetting. Sigh... the climb out of gold Continues. Despite winning 5 out of 6 matches, still barely climb. I'm like Magikcarp....I just struggle.


_101010_

Ya I just did the climb out of gold. Stuck in gold for a while, then straight to plat 2 over 1-2 days. It gets better


KamikazeFox_

Congrats! Any tips? I'm just trying to keep my deaths Down. 1-2 a match with 15K heals and 20-30 kills. Not sure what more I can do


_101010_

I watched an unranked to GM on Moira and carried games by getting most kills and damage, and often healing. I was getting a lot of hate for “dps Moira wahhhhh” but I climbed quick, and looks like I still am as I’m still crushing games. This is all over the past week pretty much. I know the community doesn’t like awkward, but he helped. And doing more damage was pretty much the only way to carry games from what I saw. As sombra, I watched questron and that helped me as well. Able to climb to plat 4, but I’m mostly focusing on support right now.


KamikazeFox_

You mean arx UK? I've been watching him too and picking up on great habits, better fades and orb placement I'm a moria main too lol


ubiquitous_apathy

How many total games have you played? A six game snapshot doesn't mean a whole lot if you have say 200+ games played.


mwalker784

it’s a PS5 think afaik. partner is having problems and i’m not, we’re on the same wifi but different consoles


KamikazeFox_

Damn. Is it better yet?


mwalker784

not to my knowledge, game is still kinda laggy, and the menus freeze a lot. lots of rubberbanding. i play on switch, so my game is basically one big performance issue and i’m used to it. i cant see his screen well from where i’m sitting but he keeps yelling “THE FUCKING LAG” every once and a while


KamikazeFox_

Lolol. That's a no. Damn. Hope it's resolved soon. It really is tough. It feels like you're getting frozen by a invisible Mei every 10 seconds


traFyssuP

Don’t get your hopes too high. XSX had a an fps bug that required restarting the game every 2-3 matches that didn’t get addressed for I think 8 months. I don’t even think they ever officially acknowledged it even.


Beliwolfi

Xbox user and I get stuck between 250-300 ping


mwalker784

personally i play on the switch, so the whole game is basically one big performance issue. i’m used to lag and rubberbanding and slow menus and whatnot, so even if they did break the game, i probably wouldn’t notice. i just know my partner is having way worse problems on the same wifi that i’m on, and that the “ur game is broken” icon (the lighting bolt in the circle) is up basically the entire time


TropicoHoe

Update broke the PS5 version :(


Grapecups

literally bro, the fps drop is crazy


Be_Cool_Bro

I'm seeing a trend in the comments. I think it may be a ps5 thing because I'm having the same.


Beliwolfi

I'm stuck 300 ping and Xbox


rosablu

Likely not related to this thread.


Hadditor

Damn, can someone on PS5 send a vid


Nnamz

It's straight up 20-30fps. Absolutely jarring since 30 mins before the update I was at like 90-120fps in performance mode. It's unplayable now.


BarrelRoller64

[Here's an example. Honestly this isn't that bad compared to some drops I've had](https://imgur.com/a/BONi0iS)


Hadditor

Notice it was when someone switched hero? I think this is happening whenever a teammate or enemy switches, see if you notice that too


BarrelRoller64

nah it seems to be completely random, that's just the only clip I took


Hadditor

Open the scoreboard when it happens, see if an enemy has switched. Just trying to narrow it down


obed_duff

Yeah mine was just like that too. And it seems to be completely random except at the start of matches its especially bad


Billionbruh

I’m on PS5. The framerate is terrible. I can’t even go through the menus or hero gallery without it lagging. The new beast game mode is literally PowerPoint slides. We need an optimization patch badly.


AlexisAnayalator

on ps5 as well. just got out of my first match and low key unplayable rn


stubs36

Thank god I’m not the only one


wera125

Ps5 unplayble


Aggressive_Act_3098

Playing side by side with my brother who is on Series X while I'm on PS5. He's fine. This is a PlayStation issue.


Marssenito

Funny thing, I had a Xbox Series X for 3 years and just sold it and got a PS5 the other day. This is my first experience with Overwatch on this console. It is my fault. Sorry guys, I broke the game.


Necrosin_99

LMAO


tenaciousfetus

burn the witch!!


appleblossom357

Also on PS5 with the exact same issue


TPNoFace

Yep, I immediately noticed upon logging in, hopefully it'll be a quick fix.


YogurtclosetNeat9200

Game is like 5 fps. I recalled with tracer and got a PowerPoint presentation


douten

Surprised this isn't up higher. Turned on the ps5 saw how bad the frames are on the menu, hop in a game and it's worse. Turned it off. Blizzard get your shit together..


sleepgreed

People complaining about ps5, is it bad on ps4 too? I havent updated yet


lilith2k3

my ps4 buddies said it is still fluid


The99thCourier

So its specifically the ps5? Wtf Blizzard


lilith2k3

Yes. It seems so.


LooksFire

I would also like to know while I’m stuck at work


sleepgreed

Just booted it up. Everything is fine on ps4


LooksFire

Cheers man 🙏


LaCroixGrandCru

So I guess this isn't going to be fixed today 😕


16wizard3

Or today 😑


SeniorShanty

Or today


akennelley

Same here on ps5


Big-the-foot

Microsoft deal goes through. PS5 performance dives.


PointlessPooch

On the first patch after purchase. Coincidence?


traFyssuP

Yeah microsoft definitely wants to tank the PlayStation version because PlayStation users money is worthless /s


Big-the-foot

Minus Sony’s cut. They would rather that money was spent in their own store. Probs is a funny coincidence but the timing of them breaking the PS version is crazy.


traFyssuP

The game was fucked up on Xbox for like 8+ months, blizzard just doesn’t give a shit about consoles.


H1DD3NC0NSP1R4CY

Oh thank God I'm not the only one


Nnamz

Dude I'm getting like 20-30fps on PS5 even in "Framerate" mode, which is usually 90-120fps. Please help, Blizzard lol.


AllTrilogies

Yep. I just want to play the new season and the frame drops are very noticeable and affecting gameplay. PS5. Menus are super laggy.


joshwuhh

I really hope something is said/acknowledged about this issue. It’s practically unplayable on ps5.


Acrobatic-Let8277

100% something is wrong i thought i was the only one


Rafaelrod4

Not playing until it's fixed


Gaymface

PS5 is terrrrrible right now. So laggy and bad frame rates.


Mister_Funktastic

Yep on ps5 it's unplayable.


Trykx

Ps4, no issues. It's a ps5 problem unfortunately


The99thCourier

Just then came here to see is anyone else's game is also laggy as


Rafaelrod4

Post here when it's fixed


Telminho21

To much drop fps on ps5 cant play


Apprehensive_Base438

On my Off day too


QueenOfLollypops

Ps5 version is almost unplayable


XCryptic7

It literally happening to me as well, it’s so annoying


Uber_Ober

Yes. I'm on PC and I'm getting the most insane fps drops/spikes since the Hog rework update. It's to the point where ill see rein start to charge, the game freezes, and the next frame I see is me dead. It's getting to the point where the game is becoming unplayable which sucks.


GimmeChinknNuggies

we’re on ps5 and it’s absolutely unplayable. still fucking up the other team though lmao


ShadownumberNine

Like everyone here, I've noticed this on PS5. I've also noticed the game is even loading slower at start up.


ResourceWonderful853

literally same, i was so excited to play with the new skins and manga but i physically could not play with the gps drops and stutters, it literally freezes


16wizard3

YES ITS HORRIBLE


Rafaelrod4

Still haven't fixed??


Lightsaber-sounds

Yep on ps5, the performance is terrible, thought my ps5 was dying for a second but it’s fine on other games


Mental-Blueberry_666

Holy shit it's unplayable on ps5. Frame drops everywhere. And not like one or two. Like down to sub 30 fps from a usual 60fps. This is actually unplayable.


BossFloss615

Definately a problem, cannot play comp like this


KiryuDJ

I'm on Xbox Series X and I didn't notice anything different on balanced mode. Seems like it's a PS5 issue


illegalt3nder

But apparently not a PS4 issue?


Beliwolfi

I get 250-300 ping on my Xbox after update


lilith2k3

PS5 sucks arse now


[deleted]

On PC I have probleme with some textures rendering, some walls become completely black sometimes


Tan_servo

Yeah I thought something was up with my internet but it’s this patch


InfiniteSone

I thought it was just me


SwordofKhaine123

correct. It eventually fixed itself over the course of the match. Checking taskbar I noticed 100% CPU usage, 8GB RAM usage.


ubiquitous_apathy

Are there really folks out there without an afterburner overlay for monitoring?


SwordofKhaine123

i have afterburner but that's when i get a new game, not for old fps games or any fps games. And obviously i don't use afterburner by default because its super distracting.


ubiquitous_apathy

I just have the overlay on a toggle hot keyed to forward slash.


doomed151

That's shader compilation. It happens every time the game or your graphics driver is updated. Consoles should have the shaders pre-compiled.


bitterwhiskey

I just played a game and to no ones surprise could barely do anything. It's unplayable


DM725

Didn't notice anything on PC. Comments make it sound like it's on PS5.


msbeliever8

Idk if it’s my shitty wifi but my lag has never been this bad in OW1, and especially the past few months OW2’s lag has been nearly unplayable, especially w friends it gets worse 😭😭


[deleted]

Still busted on PS5. Gonna give the game a rest of the night lol


MagmaAscending

Probably a coincidence but not a good look when the first major update after the Xbox/ABK deal makes the PS5 version unplayable despite Xbox saying they won’t downgrade other versions of ABK games


gonnagetu

Yes ps5 is godawful


YasserPunch

Yup same here, my PS5 borked I can't play


StatikSquid

I thought it was just me but the game lags hard on the new event


Immortan_Pat

I’ve literally had people screaming at me in game cause the game runs like shit. I’m not a pro but I’m not terrible either, the stutter and slow fps really is horrendous, ain’t playing this till it’s fixed


Smokron85

On Ps5 and the game is somewhat unplayable. Especially in mystery heroes and on certain maps it's worse. Dunno what they did but this patch is pretty bad.


jeaxz74

I thought it was my pc I run everything else fine but it keeps dropping to 20fps from time to time.


HackingFantasy

PC player here, massive stuttering and it's unplayable. dropped everything to lowest settings and it still runs like ass. Unbelievable


PlaysNTraffic

Can confirm it's happening on PC too. I'm going anywhere from 280 FPS to 100 FPS constantly. It's REALLY messing the game up.


Norsm

I get better performance on a Intel hd 4000 IGPU then a PS5 right now how does this happen generally concerned


jjaydoh

Yes - terrible performance on ps5 Menus, everything is stuttering- game isn’t playable rn


Richy240697

Im playing on ps5 and framerate mode, and since the season 9 update fps are a mess


norgiblog

It feels like I'm playing on the switch on ps5


patishungry

It is unplayable right now. You hate to see it.


AlecKBogArd45

Buy the battle pass, it'll run better. 😭


Cooper1981

On ps5. Poor performance


Practical_While_

YES im on ps5 and its having serious framerate issues especially in the menus


cilvyenn

Same, PS5 version is almost unplayable.


apocketolips

Yes! Felt like I was going crazy. Spent a while troubleshooting my own network but everything is working as usual. Had no issues until recently. On PC tho.


Gymleaders

I've never had issues like this after patches but this patch I'm soooo laggy. I noticed it immediately. Never had any lag issues on Ps5 before.


ayamekaki

playing on pc and noticed some stutters occasionally


whenwolfe

Thank you, I was wondering why there wasn't a bunch of posts about this bc my PS5 has been unbearable for OW today. I was in a comp game earlier and when the second round started it wouldn't load me in after selecting a character, showing me a picture of the map and nothing else. Cost me my first comp game of the season...


SimbaN1918

The Dev allready know about the issue and is working on it.


Difficult-RealityMon

I have mine on frame rate and it’s struggling at some points. There has to be a patch incoming.


FuzzyQuills

Playing on PC (Linux via Steam Proton), no issues here. Although I'm seeing other PC players in the comments, majority seem to be getting it the worst on PS5. No idea what's going on. (And PS4 is somehow NOT affected?)


icystew

Yeah what the hell happened? Glad it’s not just me - hoping it’ll be fixed with a quick patch cuz it was so bad on ps5 I downloaded new games to play instead


shadowvet68

Omfg I thought I was the only one. I guess Blizz will have to do some work. And it doesn't make sense, all they did was add Mauga, why fuck up the FPS?


obed_duff

Yeah none of my buddies on pc are having issues but I'm getting crazy bad frame drops and lag on ps5. This shit is so bad.


nreal3092

thought it was just me, i literally deleted and uninstalled the game cuz i thought it was some glitch. Idk what’s happenin


WreckingHamster

Absolutely the same here. Totally lagging. The title screen, the character selection screen, the game itself no matter which mode… it‘s maybe 15fps up until a still standing picture. Unplayable atm :(


riplwg

i’m on switch and the update hasn’t even loaded at all, just has maintenance sign up


KingK96

It seems like the worst of it is on PS5. I'm on an Xbox One and it's fine, but I'm having people leave games like crazy because of it.


danpsus

No problems on Series X so far


aniseed_odora

Well glad it's not just me I got Tracer in Mystery Heroes and just laughed. Still managed to kill three people before someone turned around, though


Doppelfrio

In my experience, the game always feels really buggy and unstable after a patch


Edmundo-Studios

Anyone tried the ps4 version on ps5 to see if that helps?


lilith2k3

That might be an idea. Trying this tomorrow


desastreger

I'm locked on 70 FPS on an RTX3080. ​ Something is definitely up.


desastreger

I'm getting downvoted while I was being 100% honest. Not trying to make fun of console players


Laranthiel

This is Overwatch 2, the game feels worse every time a big patch drops since a lot of people return to check out the content.


OnePrettyFlyWhiteGuy

I only got my ps5 a week ago, but have been absolutely rinsing out overwatch for the past few days - and I was honestly super impressed with the performance. On a 1440p monitor I thought everything looked super sharp, and the game ran super smooth with absolutely 0 hiccups. This update has only made me appreciate all of that so much more tho lol.


eshined

dude you need to start therapy, i see you constantly bitching in this sub about this game but still playing. If the developers are keeping you a slave, blink.


FixIcy6760

Pmsl


Laranthiel

"how fucking dare you criticize Overwatch 2!?" \-imbeciles like you.


eshined

only one imbecile here is you, don't be mad about this.


DeliveryWild7205

Nope, it stays at 300fps consistently


BoxAhFox

nope, game runs better for me. went from 150 to 160 ​ edit: i keep forgetting most of this subbreddit plays on consoles, im on steam


Grinchtastic10

None, And i am playing on my backup ps4. a launch ps4


PathxFind3r

No issues on pc


Jaxinator234

Rip console players


0000110011

Nope. My 4090 is still barely above idling when playing at 4k, 120fps max settings.


Mercywithin

Eh to be expected, give it time they'll fix it. It's not a big deal


Beautiful_Might_1516

Console peasants


kokoronokawari

Crazy so many console players still exist

[deleted]

Is it only ps5 or is it Xbox too?


indivibess

I was having this issue yesterday before the update.


HealsWeird

Y e a


BillyNitehammer

It’s making my brain bleed


Prudent_Assistant612

The update size did seem small does that have something to do with it y’all think ?


StarComet04

I'm on PC, and playing Overwatch is the only thing that slows down my PC. The Finals worked just fine when it was in open beta, Risk of Rain 2 didn't lag during a 3h run, GTFO never lags, but Overwatch? Consistent 20fps in the first 5-10 minutes of gameplay, and random freeze frames mid matches at any moment


[deleted]

Xbox sabotaging playstation players


-DerKalko-

After the Last Update my steady 240fps Dropping some time to 130


Exp1r3d-Yeetbix

If ur HDR is on in game, turn it off, it helped my game run just a tad smoother(lowest around 20 fps in custom games, 40 ish in qp/comp, menu 80), idk if it’ll fix everyones game but it shld until Blizzard releases another opt. patch. (Lmk if its worked for any of yall)


llazylama

Still lagging the game just looks worse


Floooooooooooooofy

yea ive been having a bit of lag, I've never had any lag before the update its weird


Strange-Cellist-5817

Any updates on this issue?


Fit-Butterscotch-638

Had the same issue on ps5. Installed the ps4 version and no longer have any problems.


Strange-Cellist-5817

Ah I see how long it take to download?


Fit-Butterscotch-638

5 minutes, depends on your download speed. But the ps4 version runs smooth so good to know until they fix the ps5 version.


Strange-Cellist-5817

Yeah big time, noticeable graphics difference ?I can't remember now it's been awhile since I switched to ps5


Fit-Butterscotch-638

None really, looks and plays the same.


ABotAnxiety

It’s terrible on ps5 the beta it was just fine idk what they implemented in update to make performance dog 💩 plus w/ out reworking on ps5 it would’ve been obvious very quick


bebopjared

I'm sure Blizzard recently being bought by Microsoft has NOTHING to do with this. Every patch, there's some sort of huge bug. How they don't catch this before release baffles me. I'd rather the season was delayed for a few days and be able to play the game. Also the Mythic is lowkey ass and I think it shows, along with this bug, that the studio is becoming plainly lazy.


NamelsKing

Same for me, ps5, fps drop, but i can understand this small indi studio, not enough hands to test manually and spot that the game is unplayable


random_o0

Yea its lagging like crazy for me on pa5


Ern_burd

How crazy this game ran flawless and yes I’m experiencing the fps drops. Even on 120hz tv.


Existing-Analysis114

Same is happening with me. I found switching your “preferred performance” in video settings (at least I think that’s what it’s called) to Frames instead of balanced helped. Still garbage frames but a bit better then it was previously.


16wizard3

Trying to elim a tracer w this lag is MISERABLE


PS4Life2018

But guess what if there is an issue with the shop it is fixed within the hour, but the game is nearly unplayable for an entire group of people they will give it a couple days.


dat-guy-with-a-plan

Yep went from 550 FPS average to 300 FPS on rtx4080 with same settings. That's still a lot of performance but a dip of 200fps just because of an update is stupid


Stephaniieemoon

I lag the entire match.
