Why does my Overwatch 2 aim feel off?
Your Overwatch 2 aim feels off because you’re probably playing in a PC lobby.
If you’re playing in a PC lobby on a console, Aim Assist will be disabled by default.
Hence, if you’re using a controller, your aim will be less accurate.
Many console players are complaining about this because it’s unfair to them.
“I love blizzard but this screams that they have no idea about consoles. I found this out today playing as Cassidy realizing that there’s no aim assist on Xbox. I bet this would be way easier on a PC”.
“How is this in any way fair? PC players get a whole hand to aim while I get a single thumb and they just turn off aim assist. Come on now”.
“When you play on Xbox and get a console lobby, you have Aim Assist. And when you’re playing with one PC player in the lobby, Aim Assist is disabled. Great job”.
How to fix Overwatch 2 aim feels off
To fix Overwatch 2 aim feels off, you need to reduce “Camera Shake” and turn off “HUD Shake” and “Reduce Menu Movement”.
You can change these settings in the accessibility tab by pressing Esc > Options > Accessibility > General.
If you’re playing on a console, you need to disable cross-play to prevent getting into a PC lobby.
When cross-play is disabled, you will only play against console players.
This will ensure that the Aim Assist feature is enabled at all times.
