Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed its new AI software has caught 250,000 cheaters.
Overwatch 2is still incredibly unpopular at the moment, which has seemingly been the case since it launched.

Aside from the protest that it’s free-to-play, all the microtransactions, and generally not feeling any different to the first game, it landed in hot water when the PvE mode, which was supposed to be free, released with a price tag.

The game has quickly becomeone of the most negatively reviewed titlesonSteam, withBlizzard Entertainmentreceiving a lot of hate for the way it’s handled the series.
Nevertheless, work is still being done to improve the game, including a crackdown on cheaters, griefers, and disrespectful players, and Blizzard is using AI to make it happen.
Speaking about cheating inOverwatch 2, Blizzard said: “SinceOverwatch 2’s launch, we’ve detected and banned over 250,000 accounts for cheating.”

AI is also being used to make text chat and voice chat a safer place for players. The software detects when people are using crude or disruptive language in online games, and will warn them of the consequences if they were to continue acting inappropriately. Blizzard has praised its success, saying it’s seen the software “correct negative behaviour immediately, with many players improving their disruptive behaviour after their first warning.”
WhileOverwatch 2wasn’t the upgrade fans were hoping for, at least there’s a decent amount of action taking place to ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone, except cheaters of course.
Overwatch 2is free-to-play and can be played on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch and PC.
