Screenshot location folder?
No, not the Steam F12 screenshots

Overwatch lets you take high resolution screenshots in-game with Print Screen which are incredibly helpful as references for drawing

On Battle.net these used to be saved in:
C:\Users\USER\Documents\Overwatch\ScreenShots\Overwatch

New screenshots are no longer saved there

It's saved in your steam screenshots. The Screenshots window should open automatically when the game closes, otherwise, click the tab at the top that says "View", then "Screenshots", then select "Overwatch 2"

If you're looking for the SPECIFIC folder in your files, I think it's different from person to person, but there's a button for that too (the little folder icon on top of the window that says "show on disk" when you mouseover it)

Not the Steam screenshots, those are the same as pressing F12 and gets me like a 1MB or 2MB quality .png screenshot

Overwatch's printscreen can save INSANELY high-resolution 100MB-ish .bmp file format screenshots

THAT'S the ones I cannot find after moving to Steam

I would expect it to be in the Settings? I haven't tried it, and when I save a Highlight, it lists the file directory in-game.

Not that I have found, I scoured everywhere in-game and it just straight up doesn't say anything about screenshot directories

I found an article online about screenshot folders for all Blizzard games, but it's out of date since it still only lists Overwatch 1 and doesn't even have Diablo 4 on it.

Was hoping a dev might shine some light, but it's been impossible to reach (can't post on overwatch forums for... some reason?)

Came here because I have having the same issue. It DOES get stored with Steam. I have my hotkeys different for overwatch ss and steam ss, so I'm 100% sure it's the in-game ss. I know you posted this forever ago, but hopefully, this helps anyone else having the same issue!

And it's not there. There's no giant screenshot in this location.

onedrive, documents, screenshots, overwatch

so screenshots cant be saved in the archives in cloud?
why
so if these problem happen more and more
whats the point of the existence of screenshots in the forums?
it feels like the NUMBER TWO in overwatch ""2""
edit1: it seems artwork cant even be consider as valid by mods standards.
