AMD Software Adrenalin 22.10.1 Drivers Add Overwatch 2 Support

The latest AMD drivers are here! If you’re running an AMD GPU and eager to get the best performance from the recently released Overwatch 2, it’s time to update! The latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers brings us up to Version 22.10.1 Beta. With the optimisation for Overwatch 2 being the main focus, but there are a few other tweaks to be found here.

There’s an issue with Adobe Lightroom on Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs and Street Fighter 6 Beta which should be resolved now. However, there’s still a fairly sizable list of known issues that will no doubt be ironed out by the next main release, as this was merely a Beta update.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
