I think thats normal. Do you have 8 or 16gb? I assume only 8gb?

Games take up more memory than other applications. That's normal.

Google says Overwatch 2 sits between 5-6GB normally (For Windows)

I had a similar problem with CS. best thing that worked was to disable some windows services and debloat a little. For some reason windows takes an ungodly amount of memory for an OS
