No. Everyone get them at the same time.

I mean its possible in the normal launcher so they could have found a way...

That's not something Steam supports. There is no way to preload updates.

it could work if they flagged it as a beta/free dlc i guess, but that requires them caring enough about this

I'm not sure if that is how it works. The other builds are not updates to the regular game. These are alternative builds. And then some would end up having the updates and some would not. But that's not the point of preload updates.

Unsure why anyone would move from Blizzard App to Steam. Or choose Steam over the Blizzard app.

It's easier to handle a single launcher, especially to play on Linux (or Steam Deck). The builtin compatibility layer called Proton makes this very simple. In fact, the reason I didn't play Overwatch 2 before Steam launch was that I needed to install a meta launcher that supports Battle.NET. Because Battle.NET is not officially available on Linux. Then I had to install Battle.NET and then I couldn't even use my Steam account to purchase stuff on that launcher.

Having the game on Steam makes everything easier for me.

Overwatch was the only Blizzard game I owned and will ever own. Why keep that useless launcher?
