Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Smith_Channin Channin Smith (@Smith_Channin) reported

    I’ve started dreaming about overwatch 2…I think I have a problem 😳

  • problematyc_nt "Ryo" (@problematyc_nt) reported

    Today I tried overwatch 2 with tremendous quality, with lag and apart from that it took me out of the game because the pc can't stand it. But I played custom with my brother, and I liked Hanzo, Ashe and Cassidy.

  • DavidPrime18 DavidPrime18 (@DavidPrime18) reported

    @jdrider02 Meanwhile, Overwatch 2 I say is in a comfortable position. Based from what I've seen and played, I get matches more often than tf2. The dev team responds to bugs and other problems.(depends on how they fix it.)

  • Bombman430 Alex Baldwin (@Bombman430) reported

    @BlizzardCS Can you please fix the login loop for overwatch 2? It is still a huge issue

  • tammiesheep tammiesheep (@tammiesheep) reported

    Man, I would *love* to stream Overwatch eventually. If only the game didn't crash every now and then. Today it crashed after less than 2 minutes of me playing it. Amazing.

  • yackubbb Yackub | Zest/MN3 enjoyer (@yackubbb) reported

    @asiantrash_ow @BryNgons Your problem is having 4k hours in Overwatch.

  • EmanKhaotik 𝔈𝔐𝔄𝔑🔺 (@EmanKhaotik) reported

    @XboxSupport can we possibly get a fix on Overwatch 2 showing up as Overwatch Origins Edition on my profile status?

  • coomerqueen Coomerqueen (@coomerqueen) reported

    @FembySquish I had a really nice skin for reaper on the first overwatch but I forgot my login lol

  • Jaypher_ Jordon (@Jaypher_) reported from Phoenix, Arizona

    @LilHippieVibez @fps_breezy X has lived like this forever. Years ago when he was an Overwatch pro player he was known for having the most disgusting keyboards. Dude is just nasty af that apparently money can’t fix

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @GarethPetterwo1 @Donovan70068073 Of course they have no issues rn but they will as COD, WOW, Candy Crush, Diablo, Overwatch, and so much more tear players away from them. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve are going to have a tough time competing against Microsoft even if Nintendo doesn't admit it.

  • serasynx Sera (@serasynx) reported

    Damn, Overwatch 2 is unplayable ever since it went free-to-play. From the ****** launch, all types of errors, and idiotic teammates, all I feel when playing is rage, spite, and the overwhelming urge to just kms

  • CrazyCracka831 That Saltine Boi (@CrazyCracka831) reported

    @UghNeyko @TheActMan_YT The first Overwatch was $40. I’m not sure if it’s a matchmaking issue or what but I was dominating matches when first trying to unlock most of the heroes but now every match I end up losing and it’s a massive sweat fest.

  • PinchRaccoon 💰Pinch💰Raccoon Vtuber🏳️‍⚧️(they/them) (@PinchRaccoon) reported

    @katanachan There’s recently been a lot of discussion about ranked putting players far lower then they’re supposed to be, which has been confirmed as a glitch, and they’ll send out an update with updated metrics soon! because when Isn’t overwatch broken

  • PixilVal Pixil (@PixilVal) reported

    my overwatch gets terrible lag, anyone know how to fix i have i9 9900k, and 2080 with 32gigs of ram, im not sure what it is

  • jgibsz Joe (@jgibsz) reported

    Unfortunately when we are permitted to load back into overwatch 2 we have been given matchmaking penalties that have increased in length a lot as this disconnect happens every 5-10 games we have played. Would just like to point out that this is preventing 2/3

  • zaazhil Zazhil (@zaazhil) reported

    Fix you **** *** rank system how do I get my 7 wins and derank like wtf is that @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #L

  • CLOUDNAUGE Cloud (@CLOUDNAUGE) reported

    Can’t log back into overwatch just keeps saying unexpected server error occurred. What do I do?

  • myseglis Myseglis (@myseglis) reported

    @Jay3OW Surprisingly, no problems today whereas on Overwatch 1 it was hell on earth

  • Shokio_YT TLOC | Shokio (@Shokio_YT) reported

    Overwatch 2 is doing this weird thing where sometimes it boots up as just a black screen with the audio going. Only game that does this. Anyone else having this issue?

  • Methamfetaimne Walter Hartwell White (@Methamfetaimne) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 dev team needs to fix like 99% of the characters because half of them are either completely trash or there broken belief.

  • AlbaMoth nikita (@AlbaMoth) reported

    thinking about how back in '16 overwatch was primed to do the "live service game plot development" thing before anyone else in the industry would, just to leave the story in stasis for no apparent reason (probably because they didn't have one LOL)

  • DreamHollow4219 Dream Hollow (@DreamHollow4219) reported

    I think I realized something about Overwatch 2. There were obviously people who wanted it to fail, so they DDoS'd it on day one. So who is to say they aren't also responsible for the huge amount of aimbots flooding the game, as well?

  • thexerforce Xerforce (@thexerforce) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch merged my Playstation and PC overwatch accounts and I am missing the Noire Widowmaker skin on the PC but still have access to it on console. This seems to be a common issue, any time frame for when this will get fixed?

  • YoItssNick ItzNick (@YoItssNick) reported

    @cbass Same thing as overwatch 1 with more server issues. So I’d that’s your thing then yeah.

    Nearly 2 weeks into #Overwatch2 and the career profile is still broken @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU #overwatch

  • SOLIDMARCOS47 SCOUTS SOLID (@SOLIDMARCOS47) reported

    @gnoobin I can imagine there is a lot. I think because there just getting ready for MW2 and there putting all there focus there so the game can be secured because if I remember Activision other game Overwatch 2 got hit with a Ddos attack.

  • CypherZeros Kay the Indefati-bagel (@CypherZeros) reported

    i’m sorry this has become an Overwatch rage account, i promise i’ll return to [ERROR: CONTENT NOT FOUND] soon.

  • charlie_requiem Worm (@charlie_requiem) reported

    Was feeling pretty good today so I decided to play some overwatch to fix that

  • monkeyymonster xMONKEYYMONSTER (@monkeyymonster) reported

    @BlizzardCS Add overwatch 2 to this maintenance schedule error codes LC-208 and Lc-202 are kicking players out of ranked and they are getting suspended for getting kicked it's been more then a week and it still hasn't been addressed this is outrageous
