Overwatch 2 banned 250,000 cheaters Since the game's launch.
Overwatch 2 has taken significant action against cheating. Blizzard has banned over 250,000 cheaters since the game's launch. As part of their "zero-tolerance policy toward cheating and botting," this decision was made.
The developer's plans to stop cheating, disruptive talk, and griefing in multiplayer games have been explained in a detailed post on the Overwatch 2 website.

Blizzard also revealed a roadmap for improving text chat as part of their larger anti-cheating efforts. All forms of hostile language directed toward fellow players, no matter how expressed, will be rejected by this corporation, and they will take a resolute posture against these actions. Removing the Unfiltered chat feature completely, they did so because it accepted offensive speech and phrases without any place within the Overwatch 2 community.
However, our filters also update alongside the ever-changing lexicon of online culture. Offensive language not being filtered should be promptly reported within the game.
Last month, it came to light that the enigmatic individual stalking the Overwatch scene belonged to John Cena.
