What you can feel in Overwatch
Each of these can vibrate, shock, ramp up, pulse in waves or open a mystery box. Or do nothing at all; you turn on only what you want.

How it knows what happened
Overwatch has no official interface for tools, so sideQuest looks at your screen the way recording software does: it reads the health bar, the ultimate icon and the kill feed. It never reads the game's memory. Screenshots stay in memory and are never saved.
Every action goes through sideQuest's safety limits first: hard caps for strength and length, shocks off until you arm them, and STOP on every page.
What you need
- Windows 10 or 11
- An XToys account with your toy connected
- A one-time Quick setup (one click, at full health)
- Windows HDR off while playing (Win + Alt + B)
Set up in three steps
After the one-time XToys setup, this is all Overwatch needs.
Run Quick setup once
Click Quick setup and switch to the game at full health, in a match or the Practice Range. sideQuest finds your health bar, ult and kill feed and shows you where it looks.
Choose what you feel
Pick an action for each moment, for example a vibration that grows with the damage and a short shock when you die.
Play
It only reacts while you're really in a match, not in menus or the hero gallery.
Overwatch questions
Can this get me banned in Overwatch?
sideQuest only takes screenshots of your screen, the same way OBS or Discord screen sharing does. It never reads or changes the game's memory or files. No tool can promise what an anti-cheat will do, but sideQuest stays away from everything it looks for.
What if Quick setup doesn't find my health bar?
Make sure you're at full health and HDR is off, then try again. If your HUD is unusual you can also mark the health bar yourself on a screenshot.
Does it slow my game down?
It checks a small part of the screen a few times per second, which costs very little. You can lower the checks per second in the settings.
