Overwatch 2 – Fixed screen tearing issues

1. Turn on V-Sync

Screen tearing usually occurs when your monitor’s refresh rate and GPU’s refresh rate are different and out of sync, resulting in a vertical refresh rate. As you’d expect, the V-Sync option in the game settings attempts to sync them up by setting the game’s frame rate to 60 FPS. To enable V-Sync, simply open Overwatch 2’s in-game options menu, Video tab, and toggle the V-Sync toggle to On.

If you don’t want to limit your FPS, you might need to check your monitor’s refresh rate, whether it supports G-Sync or not, and whether your graphics card can actually keep up with it.
