Overwatch finally comes to Nintendo Switch, but there's a catch

Overwatch is finally up and running on the Nintendo Switch, although you probably shouldn't get too excited.

One fan has used a new app to make Overwatch run on the Nintendo Switch handheld device.

It's all possible via the Rainway app, which lets PC users stream games to devices that run DirectX 11.

But as Dot Esports points out, the Nintendo Switch only serves as a second monitor, and players must still use a mouse and keyboard to control the action.

Even so, it's probably about as close as we'll ever get to an Overwatch Nintendo Switch port, because game director Jeff Kaplan isn't sure the console can handle the game.

"Getting OW on the Switch is very challenging for us," he said earlier this year. "But we're always open minded about exploring possible platforms."
