Overwatch has received an update to help it take advantage of the current generation consoles, but PlayStation 5 is not part of this line.

One offers 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, the second improves image quality at the same frame rate, and the final option supports 120 frames per second on compatible TVs. Currently, none of these updates will be made available to PS5 players.
