Blizzard has changed its mind about console aim assist in Overwatch 2 crossplay lobbies. The game’s latest patch has now enabled aim assist for console players across all games except competitive.

In the November 17 patch notes (opens in new tab), Blizzard said it found that having the feature disabled was causing problems on both sides of the peripheral pond. “In our data, we found many groups were crossplay groups between PC and console players. This meant if you were playing on console and grouping with players on PC, you were opting into a bad experience for yourself to play with your friends. Also, if you had a group that was primarily console, but one of your friends was a PC player, you had to leave the PC player out to have a good experience.”
