A huge Overwatch 2 replay viewer update is giving players more information than ever about their past matches, and the community is calling it “game-changing.”
Overwatch’s replay viewer was one of the most-requested additions in the first game, and the sequel has finally implemented a series of big improvements.
Being able to check out your past matches and review them is key to improving as a player, but it could be a bit difficult to search through a whole replay to find key moments.
This has finally changed with the addition of a new bookmark feature that reveals exactly when eliminations, deaths and even health pack pickups happen for everyone in a game – and players are in love with the new feature.
Overwatch 2 replay viewer gets massive update
In order to access the bookmarks, you need to press the ‘K’ button on PC or R3 then Circle/B on PlayStation and Xbox.
From there, you can see the match timeline for each individual player, including who they eliminated, when they used an ultimate, and more.

Users on Reddit and X were absolutely amazed by the new feature and are excited to see what else the devs at Blizzard have cooking up.
“It’s a great feature and I’m glad they got it all in,” one praised.
“I remember being so surprised when the automatic bookmarks were introduced, it’s definitely a game changer for analyzing my own plays and learning from others,” another chimed in.

Players also began to suggest even more features they’d want to see added, such as making the scoreboard available during replays and an uptime % tracker.
Hopefully, we’ll see even more Overwatch 2 replay viewer improvements once Season 10 launches in the next couple of months.
