Where Are Overwatch 2 Screenshots Stored?
Overwatch 2 screenshots folder on Windows, the Documents path for Print Screen shots versus Steam captures.
Last updated
Overwatch 2 keeps two screenshot systems apart. Print Screen captures save to Documents/Overwatch/ScreenShots/Overwatch at full resolution. Those are the files artists use for reference.
Steam F12 captures follow Steam instead and open through View then Screenshots. Settings live nearby in Documents/Overwatch/Settings, which is why that folder gets confused with shots. Highlights save as video nearby under their own rules. Battle.net and Steam builds share the Documents tree. Copy Settings too when moving PCs.
Where Overwatch 2 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Overwatch\ScreenShots\Overwatch
Print Screen goes here at full quality. Steam F12 goes to userdata instead. OneDrive redirection is the usual cause of an empty folder.
Frequently asked questions
Which key gives the best quality screenshot?
Press Print Screen for a full resolution shot. Files land in Documents/Overwatch/ScreenShots/Overwatch. Steam F12 shots go to the Steam userdata tree instead at lower quality.
The folder is empty after I took shots. Why?
Check OneDrive/Documents first. Redirected Documents moves the tree without telling the game. Steam shots stay in userdata regardless. Enable hidden items in Explorer if AppData paths look missing.
