How to Show FPS and Ping in Overwatch
As with most online games, players tend to prefer to see their performance stats on their screen so they can keep track of problems as they occur.
In Overwatch, there's a few simple steps when it comes to seeing your FPS and Ping counters.
1. Display Performance Stats
Go to the game's options menu from the home screen and go to the video section. From there, enable 'Display Performance Stats' and then press the plus sign underneath that and enable 'Show Network Latency' to see your ping.
2. Show Framerate
Once you have the ping enabled, press the plus under the 'Display Performance Stats' setting and click on 'Show Framerate'. Now that that's enabled, you should also see your framerate in the top left corner.
