The main concern is that if Firefox's market share continues to decline and its funding from Google diminishes, the Linux version may face cuts or even be discontinued.

"Overwatch 2's Steam Debut Sparks Crossover Possibilities and Mixed Reviews"

Overwatch 2 has been released on Steam, making it easier to play on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.
