Overwatch sensitivity explained
Overwatch 2 shares its 0.0066° yaw with Call of Duty and Destiny 2, so values move between those three unchanged. Sensitivity can be overridden per hero, and scoped heroes such as Widowmaker and Ashe add Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed (default 30%) on top.

FAQ
Overwatch sensitivity questions
What is a good Overwatch sensitivity?
Most competitive Overwatch players use 4 to 7 at 800 DPI, which is 25 to 43 cm of mouse movement per 360° turn. If you are coming from another game, convert your current sens first instead of copying a pro's: muscle memory matters more than the number.
How do I convert Overwatch sens to another game?
Multiply your Overwatch sens by the ratio of the two games' yaw values, 0.0066° for Overwatch divided by the other game's yaw. The table on this page lists the multiplier for every game, and the converter does the same math with your DPI. CoD and Destiny 2 share Overwatch's yaw, so the same number carries over unchanged.
What is the Overwatch yaw value?
Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Multiply that by your sensitivity and DPI to get degrees turned per inch of mouse movement.
How many cm/360 is Overwatch 5?
At 800 DPI, Overwatch 5 takes 34.6 cm (13.6 in) of mouse movement for a full 360° turn. Doubling your DPI halves that distance.
Where do I change sensitivity in Overwatch 2?
