    @BlizzardCS Having issues on Xbox Series X with the Overwatch 2 beta shutting my console off when loading into a map. Other users on Reddit are reporting the same issue. Please assist

  • JakeSmithson20 Jake Smithson (@JakeSmithson20) reported

    @PlayOverwatch is anyone having the issue that a game of overwatch is starting then it just doesn't put you into the game

  • doct0rgrim doctorgrim (@doct0rgrim) reported

    Hate to do this after doing a poll, but I need to cancel today's stream due to some family issues. The poll won for overwatch 2 beta so Friday at 6PMCT we will be playing Overwatch 2 on stream.

  • THCdonor Donor Gaming (@THCdonor) reported

    Bloodhunt, sucks because it literally has the same issues as it did when it was in BETA. The Cycle is wayyyy too grindy for it not being that fun. Fortnite, is well, Fortnite. And I stg if someone else suggest Overwatch 2 when it comes out ima flip my ****

  • Vozzi002 Zac (@Vozzi002) reported

    Having some problems with my knee, so won't be playing VR on stream today. Maybe some more overwatch? 🤔

  • mysticzblue Trainer MysticZblue (@mysticzblue) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent it's a really bad idea to cancel overwatch 1 play service. I hope you all receive backlash from fans who prefer the original sounds, animation, 6v6 format and more. It's not fair. All for a modern free game service premium pass money making scheme.

  • GreenOfTheThyme GreenThyme (@GreenOfTheThyme) reported

    Guys I found something crazy in overwatch 2 or is this just me If there's a widowmaker in my game I enjoy it significantly less Anybody else experiencing this problem???

  • Ferry1977 Ferry Thelosen (@Ferry1977) reported

    Decent game; Overwatch 2 al lot of fun. But man, does it have balance issues. Junker Queen and Orisa can easily 1v5, they cant be killed. Hanzo’s hits on the body doesn’t do significant dmg #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch

  • GenV02 |Tarnished Chaos| GenV02 (@GenV02) reported

    the problem of getting to test the beta early is it's mixed. It's like people who just bought it because they would like to play overwatch now, and then there are the idiots who have been playing since 2016 who have their brain scooped and still play ROADHOG

  • alyeshaplays ur lil strawberry (@alyeshaplays) reported

    if you don’t know already, overwatch 2 beta issues connecting to serve in ps5 is fixed by downloading the pa4 version!! 🤍 #overwatch #Overwatch2 #overwatch2beta

  • TukimiceTK Tukimice (@TukimiceTK) reported

    @Xiao4thewin Mixed feelings. For a final opinion, I'd have to play in servers without the lagging issues and with people with similar MMR. But overall it isn't THAT bad, but now it feels a little more like Paladins and less like Overwatch.

  • Manic_Jess Jessica (@Manic_Jess) reported

    Did the servers crash on the overwatch 2 beta or is it just me…

  • shystitch_ Shy Stitch【ENVtuber】 (@shystitch_) reported

    Anyone else having the issue of not being able to sign up for overwatch 2 beta??? Like the opt-in option isn't there for me. Just says thank you for participating.

  • Phantom0__0 Adam (@Phantom0__0) reported

    Why is overwatch 2 not works on ps anymore tf it just says game found immedietly and then error found wtf

  • SacksByMyles 𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙤𝙗 🐶 (@SacksByMyles) reported

    @KhamarSinclair dude. I’m a huge overwatch fan but got tired of it as the game grew worse. I’m rlly hoping they fix it up and make it awesome again

  • bajablastofus steve harrington lockdown (@bajablastofus) reported

    so cool so cute so fun that the overwatch 2 beta is broken on ps5 and i paid $40 just for error codes to pop up every time i try to enter a game

  • ZainMal37935644 Zain Malik (@ZainMal37935644) reported

  • Robin74769699 Robin (@Robin74769699) reported

    Dear Overwatch community, please realize that Junker Queen is a new hero. When new heroes release they tend to be overpowered and over time they get nerfed until it’s no longer an issue or they’re semi-balanced. Balancing takes time, please be patient.

  • jaymarvel Jay Marvel - See work early on my Patreon! (@jaymarvel) reported

    Playing Overwatch 2 beta. The new characters are hella fun and I like Push modes in any game. 5v5 with one tank seems like it’ll be fine. But my main issue is that visual cues for taking damage seem so toned down that sometimes I don’t know when I’m dying/near death.

  • BippyWilly Peepo ***** (@BippyWilly) reported

    I am having actually horrific latency issues with the Overwatch 2 beta, with shifts of about 40 ping ever few seconds or so, it’s so frustrating

  • FroggerOW FROGGER (@FroggerOW) reported

    everytime im streaming overwatch my bitrate just seems to flucate from 7k to 4k constantly making my stream quailty look like ***, it wasn't like this last week so im really confused on why it's doing this :( any people good with obs settings or any idea what could fix it?? ty :(

  • agentofxana Super Good Advice™ (GET YA VACCINE) (@agentofxana) reported

    whoever did the lighting for overwatch 2 maps went too crazy on orange sunset mode. its hard for me to see the outline of enemies now. can color blind settings help fix this?

  • BrackenBuddha Brakkun (@BrackenBuddha) reported

    @shad_crimson @OwPoppy2 Paladins is genuinely more fun to play than Overwatch 1. However I think that is just because balance in that game went out the window and everyone in it is broken.

  • BrownDrDoof Heinz Doofenshmirtz (@BrownDrDoof) reported

    @SamitoFPS I would genuinely be okay with it, the problem is that it comes with Overwatch 1. Like I’m basically pre-ordering Overwatch 2, what the hell do I want Overwatch 1 for? If it didn’t have that, I would’ve bought it by now

  • JackHen30068163 Jack Henry (@JackHen30068163) reported

    cant belive i spent 40$ on ow2, all they did was add a few new heros and maps and avoid all the problems early iam requesting a refund only 2 games in, i would legit rather play tetris then the game we call overwatch 2

  • wille63070132 wille (@wille63070132) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have a question. I bought the overwatch watchpoint pack to get the beta, but i cant log in. I have tried both ps5 and ps4 edition but it only says an error has occurred and then kick me of the game. What can i do to fix it or otherwise i must refund it.

  • K1llerV Brooke/Venom 🐍💫❤️ (@K1llerV) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @PlayOverwatch you said everything would carry over to Overwatch 2, I don't know whether it's a glitch on your end but I'm missing a mercy skin and a victory pose I know this may be a glitch due to the game being in beta but what happens if I still don't have this skin by Oct 4th

  • ChipHardbody Chip Hardbody (@ChipHardbody) reported

    Welp, @EpicGames Launcher keeps returning a "socket" error, so no #DeadByDaylight! :( Instead, we're pivoting to #Overwatch!
