I understand that Overwatch 2 is not officially supported on macOS but I believe the points I am about to raise are worth your attention and consideration, as they directly impact a portion of your dedicated player base.
Until recently, Overwatch 2 was playable on macOS devices through CrossOver, offering a flawless gaming experience for many users like myself. This workaround was a lifesaver for those of us who frequently travel and rely on our MacBooks for gaming. Unfortunately, following a specific game update around 2–3 months ago, it has become impossible to play Overwatch 2 using CrossOver.
From what I’ve heard, the teams at CrossOver and Apple are aware of the issue, but it remains unresolved. I wanted to ask if Blizzard has any plans to address this or collaborate with CrossOver to restore functionality.
To be candid, I believe there is an opportunity here for Blizzard to adopt a more constructive approach because; Overwatch’s rivals, such as Marvel Rivals, are already playable on macOS through CrossOver previews, which makes the lack of compatibility for Overwatch 2 all the more noticeable.This creates a risk of Overwatch players, myself included, gravitating toward alternatives if this situation remains unaddressed.
I have always been a passionate fan of Overwatch, but as someone who cannot always access a desktop, the inability to play on my MacBook, that I actually used to play perfectly, has been frustrating so I hope Blizzard will recognize the significance of this issue and explore possible solutions, whether through collaboration with CrossOver or by other means. Resolving this would not only delight a portion of your loyal community but also set a positive precedent as we enter 2025.
Best Regards!
