Overwatch 2 has seen a surge of new and returning fans ever since the shooter officially went live a couple of days ago.

With new game modes, characters, and features, there is a lot that players are having an incredible time with, irrespective of the hellishly long queue times and the plethora of performance issues.

The title is arguably one of the biggest launches in Blizzard’s history as there are a lot of expectations riding on it. This is why players from other first-person shooter games seem quite keen to try out the new entry and are curious to find out how they will be able to transfer some of the in-game settings from that shooter to Overwatch 2.

One of the biggest queries that community members have had with Blizzard’s new shooter is how they can transfer the sensitivity settings from a game like Apex Legends.

The process is not all that complicated, and today’s guide will look into how Apex Legends players will be able to very easily transfer their custom sensitivity to Overwatch 2.

To be able to convert the custom sensitivity from Apex Legends to Overwatch 2, you will need to do the following:

  • Use third-party services like aiming.pro or gamingsmart. These websites make the transition seamless, and you will be able to import your sensitivity settings without much hassle.
  • After making your way to either website, navigate to the to Apex Legends option, and then enter the respective sensitivity settings that you use for the shooter.
  • In the converter, you will then be able to pick the Overwatch 2 option, and the website will automatically change the sensitivity settings from Apex Legends to those for Blizzard's latest shooter.
  • You can adjust the resulting sensitivity settings to tweak it even more to your liking. Once you are happy with the resulting settings, you will just be required to enter the same details into Overwatch 2's sensitivity settings.

When it comes to competitive first-person shooter titles, it’s important that you are comfortable with the peripheral settings. Fortunately, FPS enthusiasts can convert the sensitivity from one shooter to another, and players from titles like Valorant, Fortnite, and Apex Legends will be able to do it seamlessly via third-party websites.

However, it’s important to note here that achieving the same amount of familiarity with the controls in Overwatch 2 from Apex Legends will indeed be a bit of a stretch. Since the game mechanics of the two titles are fundamentally different, players will be able to get close to the familiar setting that they are used to, but it’s impossible to replicate it exactly.

Hence, even after the sensitivity transfer, it will take some time before you are accustomed to the settings.
