Overwatch 2 Season 18: Keyboard & Mouse on Console

Season 18, arriving Aug 26, adds official keyboard & mouse (KBM) support for console players. Matchmaking will be split into two pools: a KBM pool (which pairs console KBM players with PC players and other KBM console players) and a Controller pool exclusive to console controller users.

Key points:

• KBM players are paired with PC & other KBM console players.
• No aim assist for KBM players; Controller pool retains controller players.
• MMR, skill ratings and ranks are separate between KBM and Controller pools.
• KBM is opt-in: accept the prompt or switch in Gameplay Options.

Season 18 release date: Aug 26.
