Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _PSYBY_ Psyby (@_PSYBY_) reported

    Nothing like waiting in the queue for overwatch 2, finally getting to the end just to then say “unexpected login error” and get booted back to the bottom of said queue 😑

  • greenguygeno Necrotic Green-Guy Geno (@greenguygeno) reported

    I'm going to assume this is just a server error because some skins and other cosmetics did not fully transfer over to Overwatch 2.

  • DrippToxic TallmfCam (@DrippToxic) reported

    @officialvalkia i dont even have overwatch 2 on the browser i dont know how to fix it

  • SBNSkelly skelly (@SBNSkelly) reported

    Is anyone on xbox or console players for that matter having trouble getting onto Overwatch 2?

  • LonerOfTokyo96 Callam00se (@LonerOfTokyo96) reported

    Overwatch 2 error for prepaid phones work around. Download a digital number app (like pinger etc.) and use that number. You’ll have to pay 10 dollars for the verification code essentially but I cancelled my subscription immediately. Rt for us “poor” people with metropcs/similar.

  • Bat_Bean Bat Bean (@Bat_Bean) reported

    Blizzard: got this idea... CEO: go on. Blizzard: let's make overwatch 2 free and get more players CEO: that is genius... And we can reduce the amount of servers for launch right even though there will be more players? Blizzard: shouldn't be a problem. Me: ffs. #Overwatch2 #PS5

  • DegenParadox Paradox (@DegenParadox) reported

  • CaseyTheVA Casey Mongillo (ケイシ・モンジロ) (@CaseyTheVA) reported

    @K0K0ze Honestly don't know. I'm new to Overwatch. I'd imagine PC players will have community servers down the line, though.

  • isevnoo k (@isevnoo) reported

    I bought 2200 overwatch coins right when the game became playable, tried buying the bp + 20 levels and got an error, restarted the game, i have the NORMAL BP (the 1000 coin one) and NO COINS????? @BlizzardCS #Overwatch2 @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • ayosneezy HZRD_ D1v1ne (@ayosneezy) reported

    It's awesome how not only is Blizzard is not allowing people who don't have phones to play Overwatch 2, but also people who don't have the right service providers? @BlizzardCS fix this bs #Overwatch2

  • TheUnknownBO6 Unknown BO (@TheUnknownBO6) reported

    If you're havin problems with phone number thing to get into Overwatch two. Battle net will not allow Cricket or T Moblie phone numbers.

  • FuggSlugg TheFuggSlugg (@FuggSlugg) reported

    @JackaryDraws I never once hated Overwatch. But them ******' Thanos-snapping their player base in the name of security by requiring a phone number (which isn't a problem, it's just that they exclude some of the BIGGEST CARRIERS) was the final straw for me since I can't ******* play anymore

  • VenomissUK VENOMISS (@VenomissUK) reported

    Anyone having an issue getting Overwatch 2 free? Mine keep saying the overwatch trial is not available at this time?? So confused. Send help!

  • wookietim Timothy Collins (@wookietim) reported

    @shaneluigi13 @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 ought to not have server issues. Blizzard has had years of experience in getting those things spun up. That makes no sense unless they are getting DDOS attacks.

  • tearygirl nina (@tearygirl) reported

  • MercyAndLQ ❤️Mercy and LQ Vtuber🐍 (@MercyAndLQ) reported

    So guess who can't play Overwatch 2 because I don't want to pay a **** ton for cell phone service.

  • YanisJendoubi1 YIKS (@YanisJendoubi1) reported
