Nintendo confirms that Overwatch is coming to Switch on October 15

After a week of rumors, today’s Nintendo Direct presentation confirms that Overwatch is coming to Switch. It lands on October 15 and will cost $40.

Overwatch launched in May 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This will be the first new platform for the team-based shooter since its release, and it’ll be the second Blizzard game for Nintendo’s home console/portable hybrid after Diablo III’s 2018 port. This version will include support for motion controls.
