"Overwatch 2 console players will officially be able to use a keyboard and mouse starting with the release of Season 18. In patch notes posted ahead of the new season, the Overwatch 2 team says matchmaking pools will be tweaked slightly so players are sorted into a Mouse and Keyboard Pool and a Controller Pool. Those playing on a console using keyboard and mouse (KBM) inputs will be paired with PC players and other KBM console players, while the Controller Pool will be reserved only for console players using a controller. Season 18 arrives on August 26."
"For players who switch to the Mouse and Keyboard Pool, "your internal MMR, skill ratings and ranks for all game modes will be separate from your statistics in the Controller Pool," according to the patch notes. This group won't have access to aim assist, as has been the case and will continue to be for PC players using a controller. KBM players will have to accept the prompt to switch to that pool in order to play, or manually switch in the Gameplay Options menu."
Season 18 launches August 26 and enables official keyboard-and-mouse support for console players. Matchmaking will separate players into a Mouse and Keyboard Pool and a Controller Pool. Console players using KBM will be matched with PC players and other KBM console players. The Controller Pool will include only console players using a controller. Players who move to the Mouse and Keyboard Pool will have separate internal MMR, skill ratings, and ranks for all game modes from their Controller Pool statistics. KBM players will not have access to aim assist. KBM input requires accepting an in-game prompt or manual switch in Gameplay Options.
