Enormous Memory Usage

Overwatch 2 has been using way more memory than it should be, using up 94% (5699.6 mb) even when just sitting in the menu. In addition, even when I’m sitting doing nothing the amount of memory that Overwatch use continues to climb which tells me there must be some memory leak going on. I’m using an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and I have 15.4 GB of usable RAM on Windows 11. In game, I run way less frames than I have in previous patches, sometimes freeze up, and get some frame stuttering as well. It’s really frustrating. It’s also happening on my friend’s computer so I know it’s not just my computer. We run very different graphics settings, but have both seen Overwatch eat up more and more memory.
