Overwatch 2: How To Ping On Console (PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S)

Whenever a match starts in Overwatch 2, you can attest to the chaos that starts. Everything seems to be happening everywhere all at once. In all these, it is very common for players to lose contact with their teammates briefly or for an extended period of time. The good thing is you can communicate with your teammates through your headset, but there is an even better way. This feature allows players to actually ping the location of the enemy location to their teammates, making it easier for them to swoop in for the kill. If you have been wondering how to carry out this action, you are at the right spot as we will discuss how to ping in Overwatch 2 for PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S users.

Overwatch 2 is an FPS video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the sequel to the popular Overwatch game with even better mechanisms and features. As much as we would love to discuss these cool features, let’s stick to the main topic at hand.

Overwatch 2: How To Ping On Console (PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S)

If you have played other standard shooter video games on console and PC, you will have no problems navigating the controls for Overwatch 2, especially that of the Ping action. The ping feature works in two ways. First, it can be used to mark an area or location as being more dangerous than others, so your teammates know to exercise caution when roaming in that direction, or watch out for a certain objective in that area. Also, it can be used to mark a character as an ally or enemy combatant. That being said, here is how to perform the action on the consoles in question. Using the ping feature in Overwatch 2 follows the same process and keys for consoles. The default method for players using consoles is to press the left button on the directional pads (Left D-Pad button). However, if you are not comfortable with the default button for pinging, you can remap your controller keybind for that action to a new dedicated button using these simple steps.

• Start by opening the Options menu, then navigate to Controls.
• Then scroll down under Controls to Communication and select it.
• Now, scroll down further and select Additional Communication.
• At this point, you will find the ‘Ping in World’ option, from which you can bind the ping action and menu to another button.
