Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Okluis_ 𝓛𝓾𝓲𝓼 (@Okluis_) reported

    @svntysix @3amsoda Honestly they need to fix it because some how Phara and Mercy are the same age. When Mercy joined overwatch- she looked like a teen, and Phara was a child.

  • TheStevenPateTV TheStevenPate (@TheStevenPateTV) reported

    @IGN This is becoming an issue. Neither game runs smoothly enough to justify this size. Overwatch is still under 30 gigs. Hard to get friends to play a game when they have to delete their whole library to fit it

  • mermaidere kalahira. ❀ (@mermaidere) reported

    @BlizzardCS i keep disconnecting from overwatch servers. it’s not my connection. it’s a bc-101 error.

  • 5ilent_Requiem Garrett (@5ilent_Requiem) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS any issues with log ins to Overwatch on console? I’ve tried it on both XB1 and PS5 and neither can establish connection. Reset both consoles and my router. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Yawarakai_Haon Daddy 🌨 (@Yawarakai_Haon) reported

    XBOX LET ME SIGN IN I GOT THE OVERWATCH EVENT TO FINISH DAWG

  • severineamelia intergalactically feared grass eater (@severineamelia) reported

    fixed my ping problem, i am now a god at overwatch. if i ever do not do well, my computer was hacked by bill gates who was scared i’d get richer than him through playing professionally.

  • bartzskylar_ sky (@bartzskylar_) reported

    i should unfollow @PlayOverwatch @overwatchleague all overwatch social medias since i can't game and the issue isn't fixed cuz @XboxSupport is so slow and fixing it wish they hurry up tho

  • UseCodeAriesYT UseCode:AriesYT #RIPBrodieLee (@UseCodeAriesYT) reported

    @KEEMSTAR Yeah **** this I can’t take it anymore **** Xbox I can’t even sign in to play overwatch for ***** sake Xbox ur a pain in the *** it signs me out if I even get on or I can’t play or even sign in

  • Goatalogy GOAT (@Goatalogy) reported

    I hate MK11 too many scrubs carried by broken *** gimmicks and **** don’t even work half the time. Overwatch 2 can’t come fast enough

  • MF_Ninja TNG🎲 | 🇯🇲👺🔞Black Hanzo👑👺🇨🇦 @training mode (@MF_Ninja) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    Personally fam I have no problem with loot shooters I just feel that instead of just focusing on Guns they need to be more like Paladins or Overwatch where we see variety of weapons, and character designs I loved Borderlands at one point but gear box ****** that up

  • ThatchWill Will Thatch (@ThatchWill) reported

    What’s gonna happen first? 1. GTA 6 Release? 2. Overwatch 2 Release? 3. Rainbow Six becomes good again 4. XBOX FIXES THEIR ******* **** LIKE IF YOU GONNA CHARGE ME FOR A SERVICE IT BETTER ******* WORK

  • bryan_rayl Bryan Rayl (@bryan_rayl) reported

    @TrudePerkins @jasonschreier I mostly agree, but only because live service is an overused and tired model (like open world is tbf). I think a good live service every so often is fine (Rainbow Six, Overwatch, and Apex come to mind). The predatory practices that are attached to them are NEVER good tho

  • jonteboiiiiii homogayboyy (@jonteboiiiiii) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN My friend can still not login to overwatch, this has been going on since yesterday, he played the whole day before that but now it says failed to log you in

  • AttrowerOW Attrower (@AttrowerOW) reported

    @bazmiku @KiloOfPepsi We pc no overwatch is the bigger issue

  • gamecombination Game Combo Bot (@gamecombination) reported

    Game pitch: the level design of Crash Bandicoot with the difficulty level of Overwatch and the writing of Corpse Party

  • gojinero goji (@gojinero) reported

    @efaya13 The short of it is the studio that remade Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 as well as the one that made Crash Bandicoot HD got bought up by Blizzard or something like that so a lot of prospective games people were anticipating got cancelled for more Overwatch skins and CoD

  • NickVersus64 Nick (@NickVersus64) reported

    @escalusia @jasonschreier "Service games" refer to games like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Fortnite, where the core gameplay is typically online and new content is regularly produced to keep players engaged, usually with microtransactions.

  • Hiddenpop1023 Hidden (@Hiddenpop1023) reported

    not gonna lie, overwatch can be decently fun at times and i do kinda miss playing it even though i do **** on it. sucks i havent been able to play it in years since my laptop started failing at one point and i get connection issues with my pc.

  • Ir0nBat Ir0nBat (@Ir0nBat) reported

    @YaBoiMrPants Cut out overwatch and valheim problem solved

  • TheGmodDude CeeNine (@TheGmodDude) reported

    Cold War is *** to run on PC. I might just sell my battlenet account, it has Overwatch, BO4, MW 2019 and CW. I want my ******* money back, these devs can't "dev" jack ****. I'll use the money to buy better games like Huniepop 2 because at least they lack crashing issues.

  • ShootThatZombie Briana (@ShootThatZombie) reported

    Xbox is having an outage and I can't play Overwatch to get the last Lunar New Year skin. I'm gonna need this to be fixed now before I punch a dolphin.

  • TeachSUFC GS (@TeachSUFC) reported

    @EAFIFADirect Name one other game that has as many problems as FIFA. The biggest games in the world don’t have half as many issues. You could play fortnite, minecraft, Overwatch, CS:GO, etc. for days on end without experiencing whole modes going down and constant lag

  • Thederpyinkling Cookie 🦄 (@Thederpyinkling) reported

    NAWT Xbox having outage when I was gonna play overwatch with some people

  • JuicyPolarBear Juicy Polar Bear (@JuicyPolarBear) reported

    @Foreverblue66 @smujyontwitch Xbox is down too, I was on overwatch then I just get signed out. Can't sign in again :(

  • c_nn_r_lewis ConnorLewis (@c_nn_r_lewis) reported

    @XboxSupport Overwatch’s event ends today... People need to understand to be patient. Also PlayStation users, screw off, but only if you came here to be a** h**** to Xbox users. Just wait until we laugh at you guys for having issues. Then you’ll be pissed. Opinions are like a** h****

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    Overwatch is reinstalled and running, now to try to intentionally crash it in quickplay. 🤔

  • SamuelJZarek Lord Samuel Zarek (@SamuelJZarek) reported

    My only Xbox game that’s downloaded that I have the disc for is overwatch and I can’t play that without signing in 😭😭😭 this is a sad day. A sad sad day. Hopefully the problem is fixed soon

  • muuchdir 𝐞𝐤𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨 (@muuchdir) reported

    @MrBoyle02 I mean if your connection is **** the lag is still there lol but Overwatch has a team fo 6 people, if already one gets out it's a problem, idk about Smash

  • tapaubungkus 偉明 🤟😔🤟 (@tapaubungkus) reported

    Imma play overwatch while i wait for reply cuz i dont even have the permissions to find my problem 💀

  • MojoBajojo J o j o ⚠️ (@MojoBajojo) reported

    @unlawyer @tagasalog @pnppio Pissing contest, most likely. Basic assault ops planning should include a "broken arrow" type of scenario. Even without Army support, they have mortars in their own inventory. They didn't plan for overwatch, indirect fire support, and exfil under fire.
