Overwatch 2 was released with some cool new updates and features for multiple platforms. Since it is a multiplayer game, teamwork is required in order to win a match. Moreover, it is only possible if you have proper coordination with your teammates. Otherwise, an uncoordinated game is just like playing solo in a multiplayer match. In the past few years, the voice chat feature played a significant role in the teammate’s healthy coordination. However, there are some instances where a particular player is unable to access the voice chat. In such cases, the Ping system plays a very crucial role and luckily OW 2 has this feature. Check out this guide and know how to Ping while playing Overwatch 2 on Consoles like PlayStation, Switch & Xbox, and PC.
