Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SirSquirrelz Squirrelz.stfu 🐿 (@SirSquirrelz) reported

    People are really upset about the potential that Microsoft could make Crash and Spyro exclusive…Activision definitely had 0 plans to EVER release more Spyro or Crash games. All their efforts were going to DOTA and Overwatch I wouldn’t worry about it

  • LilBlee0_o Brandon (@LilBlee0_o) reported

    Overwatch competitive games have huge problems and I’m not sure if it’s even fixable. Damn straight just bc Microsoft bought blizzard I don’t see them being able to fix OW’s main issues. Bc these issues don’t seem fixable.

  • ilias_G1 𝗘̸𝗹̸𝗶̸𝗮̸𝘀̸ 🅱️ (@ilias_G1) reported

    @JAAY_ROCK_ Meh, only crash and maybe Overwatch...

  • gromfrights hani 💫 (@gromfrights) reported

    @FerrisWheelPro i think stuff like COD and overwatch and diablo are perfect for a service like game pass but its just crazy how not even a month into 2022 they give so many game pass announcements and THIS

  • xqcow_title_bot Pepega Bot (@xqcow_title_bot) reported

    OMG MORE DRAMA (INSANELY SPICY) AND WOW SO EXCITING! ALSO MICROSOFT BOUGHT WHAT? BILL GATES WILL FIX OVERWATCH? I CANT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED

  • Iczer07 Mat ⭐️ (@Iczer07) reported

    So Crash and Spyro is now part of Microsoft and so is Overwatch too. Seriously wtf is going on?

  • TyeTyeee Ghost Mutt (@TyeTyeee) reported

    @wyattcowan_ lol they really trying to make this meta verse **** happen when it’s not happening but man Spyro, Crash, CoD, WoW and Overwatch all exclusive to Microsoft is huge

  • MrHawkTV MrHawk 🎄 (@MrHawkTV) reported

    Xbox just bought activision/blizzard for $70 billion. They now own world of warcraft, call of duty, crash bandicoot, overwatch and starcraft just to name a few. #xbox #Activision #blizzard

  • hydrak11 HydrAK11 (@hydrak11) reported

    @MyName_Rob Live service will everywhere. Singular games will be exclusive. Minecraft is a live service game. Same with warzone. Overwatch 2 probably will be too.

  • Revenge_I_Guess Revenge (@Revenge_I_Guess) reported

    @Sisslethecat Yeah, I don't really agree. Call of Duty would at most get the same times exclusivity deals PS got, Warcraft is a live service, so they can't just go "LMAO, all those hours spent on the game is gone unless you play on Xbox", Overwatch 2 has been in development for so long and-

  • GuiltyFlygon Guilty Flygon (@GuiltyFlygon) reported

    Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo... games like these seems like perfect fits for Microsoft but it does have me feeling like Crash might be going off to the farm like Banjo again...

  • LR_214 clampgod (@LR_214) reported

    @CHICKEN__MAFIA They could make cod better tho. That the thing. And idk bro. Xbox now has spyro, crash, prototype, tony hawk,and overwatch

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @kooliskey @JacobPa60511275 I think you're Missing the point somewhat though. No one is arguing SIE don't produce great games, they absolutely do. The problem is SIE indentified a number of key franchise for core revenue income: Minecraft CoD Fortnite Overwatch Final Fantasy (mainly FF14) Fifa Apex 1/3

  • DarthChillash Darth Chillash 🕹 (@DarthChillash) reported

    @thatoldgamerguy I hope they cancel OW2 and take Overwatch back on track to be a fantastic eSports title, as it used to be! Put that PvE content in Overwatch as soon as it is ready, no need for a number 2 in the name. It's a service game.

  • andreeluiiiis André (@andreeluiiiis) reported

    @TheEnemyBR Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Call of Duty, Overwatch.

  • TheDuperghoul Douglas (@TheDuperghoul) reported

    @KrystalVixon I see it as a Minecraft situation. Crash and Spyro (and Call of Duty) still being multiplatform but still gives Microsoft money. I can see Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 and Tony Hawk as Xbox exclusives

  • HotNintendo NintendoHotTakes (@HotNintendo) reported

    @TheNCSmaster I mean they got the Spyro trilogy, Crash trilogy, Crash 4, Overwatch, and Diablo 3 off the top of my head. But even if those all got deleted from everyone's Switches it wouldn't effect sales because the Switch is just a 300$ you can buy Nintendo games pass.

  • Mcleod_OW McLeod (@Mcleod_OW) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB Please fix overwatch 🙏

  • KaticMakenna what is even going on here... (@KaticMakenna) reported

    @Javion_OW This is a problem not with OverWatch, but all of Blizzard's games

  • 8bit_Spazzy David Krane (@8bit_Spazzy) reported

    @redmenace000 @Romudeth And World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, the entire Sierra catalog, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro,Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, etc, etc, etc This is more akin to Disney buying Fox, which sold for a higher price than this ($71b). It's for a ton of content to build their subscription service

  • ComicsanDlove ScarletDMC (@ComicsanDlove) reported

    And for so little gain Activision barely has anything these days World if Warcraft is dead, WoW Overwatch is dead and 2 is in hiatus Diablo still waiting for 4 but ios ideas ruined that fandom Starcraft barely exists beyond core audience Crash and spyro, just no

  • Sisslethecat October 🎃 Commissions Open! (@Sisslethecat) reported

    @Revenge_I_Guess They now own Call of Duty, Spyro, Warcraft and StarCraft, Tony Hawk's ProSkater, Prototype, Crash Bandicoot, Overwatch, Sekiro, and dozens more. There is a zero percent chance most of those aren't going to become exclusives to Xbox/PC.

  • LilBlee0_o Brandon (@LilBlee0_o) reported

    Is overwatch saved now that it is under new ownership? Bruh whats’s the problem w. OW..? The rank games are just terrible and is it even fixable? Too many smurfs, throwers, and it’s inevitable that you’ll have teammates that suck. Is this game even save-able lol #Overwatch

  • mrbslime mrbslime (@mrbslime) reported

    @TheRealSobBaget Maybe they’ll fix up CoD and Overwatch

  • RalphHaley10 Mister1030 (@RalphHaley10) reported

    @PorterJonD2 Yeah. But. Is the Xbox Cloud gaming app and games available through GFN? Was Diablo and Overwatch accessable to the service through Epic/Steam? If so. Does that access go away and then only way to access is through Xbox PC Gamepass? The other services never had Activision games.

  • blitzaga Blitzaga (@blitzaga) reported

    @MatLewi5 @BhargavMewada99 @geoffkeighley Most of those are decent but wolfenstien is now very bad warcraft lead devs left and it's now bad starcraft lead creators have their own studio now overwatch has been left for dead and broken for years Hopefully Microsoft will turn them around wanting bad games for anyone is dumb

  • SUPAHSAWNIK99 Supah | Fighting Game Fanatic (@SUPAHSAWNIK99) reported

    So, Microsoft now owns: -Halo -Doom -Fallout -Call of Duty -Killer Instinct -Overwatch -Gears of War -Crash Bandicoot -World of Warcraft -Candy Crush -The Elder Scrolls -Minecraft -Banjo-Kazooie -Spyro -Hearthstone -Forza Motorsports -Battletoads ...What the hell is this company?

  • Cluetube Clue❄️ (@Cluetube) reported

    @VibinWithViolet i was like WUT LMAOOO it would be fun to play on the cloud tho ngl. hop on overwatch from my school laptop on the busride home type of vibes (except not cuz lag would be ungodly)

  • marlisjun marlis (@marlisjun) reported

    @XboxP3 save Overwatch, fix warzone.

  • LilBlee0_o Brandon (@LilBlee0_o) reported

    Is overwatch saved now that Microsoft has bought blizzard? Ans: No, b.c OW’s main issues pertain to smurfs and throwers. And Microsoft ain’t going to be able to fix that.
