Overwatch 2 - If you're a friend of a cheater, you get the punishment

If you are friends with a cheater in Overwatch 2, it could soon have consequences for you. Blizzard wants to take a harder stance.

In a recently published blog post, Blizzard gave us detailed information about the planned measures against cheaters. These are to be implemented in the upcoming Season 3 and should in future deter people from teaming up with cheaters to make loot. According to Blizzard, over 50,000 Overwatch 2 players have already been banned for fraud. An enormous number. In addition, Blizzard is working on using speech-to-text transcription and AI learning algorithms to take action against Overwatch 2 players who troll or harass other players via the in-game chat. During the test phase, there were already some bans, so the method is apparently extremely effective, according to the company.

Even though news about Overwatch 2 has been a bit quieter lately, Blizzard has announced that the new story mode of Overwatch 2 is being "finalized" internally, so you can look forward to new content as a fan.
