ByBlizzard Entertainment has released an update for the PC version of the team-based multiplayer video game "Overwatch." The new High Bandwidth Update of the video game will improve the overall online multiplayer first-person shooter experience.
The video game company also released the developer diary that features Senior Software Engineer II Philip Orwig and Lead Engineer Tim Ford, who discuss how the feature performs.
Orwig explains that a gamer need to keep in mind is that, if their connection is so slow, they don't have worry about it, Blizzard will downgrade them appropriately and then they will see the interpolation delay increase. Orwig added that everything is going to work out perfectly fine on that front, according to Game Spot.
