How Cross-Game Matching Works
Each character across all supported games has been tagged with a set of playstyle traits, including things like mobility, damage style, crowd control, team reliance, and typical role in a match. These tags describe how a character actually plays, not just their class or damage type.
When you select a character from another game, the recommender compares their tag profile against every heroes in Overwatch 2 and ranks the closest matches by how much playstyle overlap they share. If you tend to play aggressive flankers, mobile assassins, or frontline tanks in one game, you will get heroes with similar instincts in Overwatch 2 rather than just characters in the same damage category.
This is especially useful when switching games or picking up Overwatch 2 for the first time. Instead of starting from scratch, you can find heroes that reward the skills and habits you've already built.
