Overwatch High Bandwidth Servers Go Live

Overwatch High Bandwidth Servers Go Live

 

A post by community manager Lylirra talks about the arrival of the new server tech, which first made its debut during Custom Matches in beta. The new server tech will bring client refresh rates from 21 updates per second to 63 updates per second, allowing for game actions to be transmitted through the game faster. The new servers will also recognize personal internet connection speeds and scale down to keep pace. The team will also look in to adding an option to self-limit bandwidth consumption for those with internet providers that have data useage caps.

The high bandwidth servers are rolling out today, with full release of the tech to all regions expected in the next several weeks. The servers will be specific to PC players at this time, but the devs are looking in to how to bring the same tech to console versions of the game.
