Overwatch Nintendo Switch port confirmed — preorders now available!

Announced during the Nintendo Direct yesterday and backed up by a tweet on the official Overwatch account, the popular Blizzard FPS will soon head to Nintendo Switch. Players can already pre-order the game, which also comes as part of an attractive bundle.

Several clues previously pointed towards an Overwatch Nintendo Switch port, and now it's a reality. Firstly, a protective case was removed from sale by Amazon, then a retailer seemed to reveal the exact release date for the game in Europe.

Last night's Nintendo Direct confirmed what fans have been waiting for: Overwatch will come to Nintendo Switch on October 15!

Preorder Deal

A special package is available for $39.99, and is available until October 15. It will allow players to access several things:

  • the 31 heroes
  • the 28 maps
  • 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online subscription
  • 15 hero skins
  • one Golden Loot Box if purchased before December 31, 2019

Overwatch was originally released in May 2016 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The Switch release is great news for the franchise, especially while fans wait for potential surprises at Blizzcon 2019.

An Overwatch protective case for Nintendo Switch in pre-order

Overwatch soon on Switch? The rumor has been spreading a few months ago, but it is only a protective case in the colors of Blizzard's FPS that the console will have — for the moment... This one is on pre-order and will be available around September 15.
