Overwatch 2 has arrived! After a brief glimpse at what the game would look like with the beta, which ran from June 28 to July 18, the official release of the game is now available to download and play on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch. Like all good sequels, many attributes and themes have carried over from the first game, including the competitive attitude that kept us all on the edge of our seats. With season one in full swing and season two quickly approaching on December 6, we thought we’d compile an Overwatch 2 tier list of all the current characters at launch to give you a head-start.

Overwatch 2 is the long-awaited sequel to its predecessor, Overwatch, which was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Iron Galaxy and released in 2016. The game itself is based on the iconic five vs five competitive layout, a staple for competitive games made famous in shooters and MOBAs like Counter Strike and League of Legends. What set Overwatch apart from shooters like Counter Strike (and what inspired games such as Valorant) was that you played as characters, sparking charisma and charm to the game. Consequently each character has specific abilities and weapons unique to them, making it important that you know what each one does, and which is best to use.

Check out some of our other tier-lists, such as A Once Piece Game Fruit Tier List, Alice Fiction Character Tier List, Lord of Heroes Character Tier List and Multiversus Tier List.

Overwatch 2 Tier List

Before we move onto the tier list though, we thought we’d quickly explain what our tiers mean:

Tiers Explained

• S Tier: These are the best characters currently available in the game, and you should definitely aim to add them to your party. They should also be the first choice to level up and gain access to equipment.
• A Tier: These characters are perfect for filling gaps in a party – particularly when you haven’t unlocked enough S tiers, or there aren’t enough S tiers to fill a party in the first place. You should investigate these characters and see which one will counter your party’s weakness.
• B Tier: Characters in this tier can really help during the early phases of the game, when you haven’t unlocked many characters, but they fade later on. Definitely use them when you lack S and A characters, but swap them out as much as possible.
• C Tier: The only real difference between C and D tier is that C tier characters can occasionally have niche uses. They may be great at a particular game mode, or be exceptionally powerful early on. A late-game party shouldn’t have any though.
• D Tier: We don’t recommend using these characters under any circumstance, unless you absolutely have to because you have nothing else. They underperform at all stages of the game, and in all game modes.

Overwatch 2 Tier List FAQ

Now we’ll answer a bunch of questions you may have about Overwatch 2 or tier lists in general.

What Is A Tier List?

A tier list is a list of characters that you can unlock in a game ordered from best to worst. We rank from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst.

The purpose of a tier list is to help you, the player, determine who the best characters to unlock are, so you can save time and money. Once you know who the best characters are, you can form a party out of them and ignore the others.

How Did We Pick Our Overwatch 2 Tier List?

We used a combination of the following factors when deciding on our BraveNine Story tier list:

• Personal experience
• Community feedback
• General consensus from other tier lists

However, it’s worth noting that tier lists are subjective by nature. This is based on our experience with the game, but yours may vary. So, we recommend that you take this with a pinch of salt and play Overwatch 2 for yourself.

How Often Do We Update Our Overwatch 2 Tier List?

We update this tier list regularly to ensure that it always follows the latest meta. Typically, you can expect an update around the following happenings:

• A new character releases
• Balance changes

There may be a small delay between the above two events as we’ll return to the game to check out the new character for ourselves, or to see how the balance patches have affected things.
