Sounds like Overwatch runs and looks great on all platforms

In the latest platform comparison, Digital Foundry takes a look at the open beta versions of the Blizzard title.

According to the report, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are mostly interchangeable with only a "small additional layer of polish" noticeable on PS4. It works "beautifully on both systems" so it's all down to personal platform preference.

The PC is visually more refined with "better effects and higher frame-rates" with artwork scaling at 1080p and beyond. The native 1080p presentation and 60fps pnly falters on occasion when played on consoles.

Digital Foundry also expects the game to readily deliver Netcode stability and servers which can handle the influx of beta and non-beta players without issue.

Sounds like everyone wins. That's always a good thing.
