Blizzard Will Ban Overwatch 2 Players Who Use “Unapproved Peripherals”

Overwatch 2 has recently seen a bunch of important changes, including now-free heroes and Wide Matches for groups from different ranks. Soon after, Blizzard addressed the use of “unapproved peripherals” on consoles – a long-standing issue that has been around for years.

It’s a common opinion among Overwatch players that if you move from console to PC, say goodbye to your rank because the console version provides an aim assist as it’s harder to move precisely with a controller. However, if you combine the accurate movement of your mouse and keyboard with aim assist, it will be much easier for you to rush the ranks. So much, in fact, that many players consider using devices that allow you to do just that (a.k.a. XIM adapters) cheating.
