Blizzard says it's taking "big steps" to discourage cheating, and has banned over 250,000 players since Overwatch 2 launched as part of its "zero-tolerance policy toward cheating and botting".

In a detailed update posted to the official website, the team revealed what it was doing to tackle "disruptive behaviour and cheating", as well as disruptive chat and griefing issues "that negatively impact many multiplayer video games".

"We've been taking big steps to help discourage and remove disruptive behaviour and cheating and wanted to share more details with you," the team began. "Defense Matrix is the name for our collection of efforts to quell the cheating, disruptive chat, and griefing issues that negatively impact many multiplayer video games, including Overwatch 2.
