Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • akaGeneralJ General 🌙ohnston (@akaGeneralJ) reported

    @G27Status Blizzard might get it together now and we might get new Activision games on GamePass. Sounds good. What about new studios making new IP? This doesn’t offer anything to people who don’t play COD, Overwatch, WOW, or Diablo. Maybe this means Crash and Spyro aren’t dead? Seems weird

  • ElTortugaGames El Tortuga Games (@ElTortugaGames) reported

    @AnthonyPool450 @mrpyo1 I love from but that doesn’t equal activision. Freaking cod, overwatch, crash, Spyro, Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, tony hawk this purchase is wild

  • UTB_Nidstang Nidstang_Under The Bun (@UTB_Nidstang) reported

    @RedX53 Doom, Halo, Quake, Wolfenstein, Hexen, Heretic, Overwatch, Call of Duty Not to mention Warcraft, Crash, Spyro All under Xbox now.

  • sugmaistaken Sugma (@sugmaistaken) reported

    Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard is the biggest move Xbox has ever pulled. That means they'll have the rights to Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot, and Call of Duty. Not only is this going to make Xbox a powerhouse but it also means the issues at Activision Blizzard will be fixed.

  • Flames1232 Rabbit🔎Umbrella (@Flames1232) reported

    @NepsKnight I can see stuff like Cod and overwatch (if they're still doing anything with it) staying on PS for money reasons. But it would be really funny to see if spyro and crash don't end up on ps anymore

  • smeblacknerd Davy Jones Twin (@smeblacknerd) reported

    @Phuckin_Wright Overwatch, CODs, crash bandicoot, etc. all owned by Microsoft now. Gamepass about to be crazy

  • JERNIMOLPEZROD1 JERÓNIMO LÓPEZ RODRÍGUEZ (@JERNIMOLPEZROD1) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB This isn't happening....Crash, spyro, Skylanders (Probably), call of duty, overwatch...and more. Man! MICROSOFT IS NUTS!

  • madsiesss noelle enjoyer (@madsiesss) reported

    @Ruskie_ @Opgamin01861371 @nytimes i uninstalled everything blizzard/acti except ow, mostly because ive sunk thousands of hrs into it, and also because the overwatch team wasn't a part of that, no issues came up there, but i understand that

  • kykylez kykylez (@kykylez) reported

    microsoft acquiring Activision is the best thing i’ve heard in a long time when it comes to the game industry. here’s to hoping they can fix everything that went wrong with games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty 🤞

  • AbsoTheFox AbsoTheFox 💜🏳️‍🌈 (@AbsoTheFox) reported

    @Rulf_Foxton $70 Billion with a B. They will own CoD, Overwatch, Diablo, Crash, Spyro and more Jesus.

  • WeebGrey GreyWeeb (@WeebGrey) reported

    @SubhaMridu That said we don’t know yet. They said they were still working things out. Service games like Overwatch and Call of Duty make a lot of ongoing revenue so it makes sense for MS to put them everywhere like Minecraft.

  • jmdornbush Jonathon Dornbush (@jmdornbush) reported

    @DanStapleton I do think they're working on it - their exclusive games with 3rd parties announced last year (Demolition, Firewalk, and Haven) all have multiplayer/live-service DNA it seems. Nothing is COD or Overwatch, but they do seem at least aware multiplayer is a thing they can bolster.

  • AramyxDraws Aramyx Draws Lewds (@AramyxDraws) reported

    Microsoft buying acti-blizz is interesting. I'm particularly interested to see how this move affects Crash Bandicoot and Overwatch.

  • GLV_Toonfan91 Gavin Lee Varner (Toonfan91) (@GLV_Toonfan91) reported

    I woke up a while ago and I get blasted immediately with news of Microsoft buying Activision. Now XBox owns Crash, Call of Duty, Diablo, StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Skylanders, Spyro, Overwatch, and the most dumbfounding to me, C a n d y C r u s h

  • 4Motumbu ☣👽Motumbu👽☣ (@4Motumbu) reported

    My problem with mega studios like Sony or Microsoft buying game studios is the exclusives , wanna play the new Doom or Overwatch? Tough **** buy a new console

  • he_burntmyshake RuneScape Frog (@he_burntmyshake) reported

    @rockisinfinite @dinabass Nobody said "no exclusives" Spyro, Crash, etc can all become exclusive. They're talking about stuff like CoD and Overwatch. If Sony doesn't open up more to the idea of cross platforming then they might lose even more.

  • _cvd Conor (@_cvd) reported

    @kocienda They’re buying the IP and have determined it (probably correctly) to be more valuable than the problems are harmful. Bliz/Acti have some of the best and most popular franchises ever. You can’t build CoD/Overwatch/Warcraft/Diablo/etc. from scratch.

  • lira_nroll AdrianLiraNroll 🇲🇽 (@lira_nroll) reported

    @ALGER_1987 You are saying you have never played: COD, Diablo, Overwatch, WOW, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, Sekiro, Spyro? I dont know what's more sad, that you have never played any of those games or your capping for PS

  • Sonicphoto Noel (Sonicphoto 🏹) (@Sonicphoto) reported

    @MonarchWrites @Riddyxx I think the microsoft deal might have been the push it needed to make it happen, after so much issues they had. It’s first one on the image on today’s announcement. Initially it was like UC: Lost legacy, new pve, but shared pvp with uncharted4/overwatch 1. Probably still will be.

  • raullbenevides Raul - #FORABOLSONARO (@raullbenevides) reported

    @Romy_Arths @pedroxbz Tony Hawk, Spyro, Sekiro, Crash, COD, Overwatch, Pitfal, Guitar Hero, Diablo… tudo da Activision agora.

  • RainbwoGoat Rainbow Catboy (@RainbwoGoat) reported

    @Cum_Johnson It is a smart move Cause now Microsoft owns COD WoW Overwatch Crash Bandicoot Spyro Candy Crush Starcraft Now if they made anything in one of these series, Xbox and pc get it but not ps4 and switch It is a very smart way to try to make people choose xbox instead of PS5

  • Zenkho_ Zenkho (@Zenkho_) reported

    i dont care about overwatch but bro after this acquisition imagine if they fix the game + make microsoft skins like master chief soldier 76

  • lUnfairl Jordan (@lUnfairl) reported

    @XboxP3 Now fire Bobby Kotick and fix overwatch please.

  • SeanBradfos Bradfos (@SeanBradfos) reported

    @IGN I hope this doesn't lead to problems with having Overwatch 2 on Playstation. That would make me Le sad

  • KaminadoSyd ⸸ Grindingway ⸸ (@KaminadoSyd) reported

    Microsoft could legitimately save Crash Bandicoot, world of warcraft AND overwatch. I'd never go back to wow personally but I DO want the game to be good. I would love to see these series get a true redemption arc.

  • Waheediiiiii Khan of Khans (@Waheediiiiii) reported

    @Kabir_1k Overwatch, no problem but you see COD?....AH!!!!!!!!!

  • Mlp_Ry Gen. Ryder BLM ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊ (@Mlp_Ry) reported

    Microsoft: now owns Fallout, Crash Bandicoot, Minecraft, and now Overwatch. That's something to wake up to

  • Jakester22 Jake Sever (@Jakester22) reported

    I don’t think that Xbox will risk making COD, Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Overwatch, Fallout, etc exclusive, but if the refuse to let Sony use them in their GamePass counter, Sony could be in big trouble over the long haul? What day you, @PaulCharchian and @Andrew_Reiner

  • KnicksRIP Mattypoo (@KnicksRIP) reported

    I'm straining to think of any *current* Activision property that would likely become Xbox console-exclusive. They're all behemoths on multiple platforms. Maybe Diablo IV? A big stretch would be Tony Hawk, Crash, Spyro, or Overwatch.

  • uffel Steve U (@uffel) reported

    Microsoft buys Activision for $68.7 billion. Overwatch, Call of Duty, and Warcraft are heading to Game Pass. This is a serious push into gaming as a service. For comparison, Microsoft paid $7.5 billion for Bethesda and $26 billion for LinkedIn. $MSFT $ATVI
