Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JahlilWill Jah (@JahlilWill) reported

    Overwatch 2 was bound to have some server issues at launch. Feels like every major update they've had the past few years has had initial server issues. Why would this be any different?

  • PotatoLegionYT PotatoLegion (@PotatoLegionYT) reported

    Overwatch servers are down and not working. Legit like 2 hours queing and nothing soooo. I'll try again tomorrow!

  • Delcatty16 Delkitty | Maid VTuber (@Delcatty16) reported

    Okay. So. Overwatch 2 is literally unplayable. Doesn't even have a functioning queue system. Spent the past two hours waiting in a queue only to get a connection error once it gets down to 100 players. Then back to 40k. Actual garbage.

  • vonelliott vonelliott (@vonelliott) reported

    @BlizzardCS What about the unexpected "Sorry, the Overwatch free trial is not available at this time" error?

  • agelfand 🤨 (@agelfand) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi, I'm having issues with my Overwatch 2 log in and I can't find a phone number for support.

  • kjhculture mazi (@kjhculture) reported

    am i the only one having login issues with overwatch 2?

  • Fernand39741014 ❎ FDaylight 🇧🇷 (FLegion) (@Fernand39741014) reported

    @goldraven623 @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 1 launched without these issues

  • babygdeals BabyGDeals (@babygdeals) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Overwatch please fix the SMS protection with the phone number. You would've been better off charging $60 and not having all these issues. Thank God I have a work number I can use or $40 would've went down the drain because you guys didn't warn anyone about the phone plans

  • needanewnamewtf george (@needanewnamewtf) reported

    Anyone else’s ‘account merge’ not working too? #overwatch #Overwatch2

  • senan_redmond Senan Redmond (@senan_redmond) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch . Any chance of a free code for diablo immortal items while the entire overwatch community continues to wait on your broken servers on a launch you weren't prepared for ******* **** show. #Overwatch2 #ratherplaypaladins

  • Fancybacon87 AJ Trepiccione (@Fancybacon87) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent This is why i only ever come to blizzard to play overwatch and even now you require a post paid number so i can legitimately not play at all unless I switch my cell service? Wtf is wrong with you blizzard do yall just like to ruin everyones hype for your games or something?

  • EcksxDee 🌊☀️Bee☀️🌊 (@EcksxDee) reported

    My overwatch 2 queue reached the end, then said error and restarted and put me at the back of the line. Thanks @PlayOverwatch very cool very poggers

  • Avion_BR Rian? (@Avion_BR) reported

    @XboxSupport @OverwatchBrasil @XboxBR HELP! There's a problem here where me and a few people can't connect to Xbox Live, and It's weird because It happened a few minutes before Overwatch servers got online (I live in Santos, where Brazilian OW servers are), I need help!

  • atl2s atlas (@atl2s) reported

    overwatch 2 feels really bad to play. doesn't feel as smooth as overwatch 1. it was like this in the OPR too, but i thought they'd fix it with the official release.

  • MugenjinTM Kotoro! (@MugenjinTM) reported

    Login to Overwatch 2 after 40,000 person queue Merge accounts Told to log out to to merge Game Server Connection Fails #Overwatch2

  • CadiumShiba_118 Cloudyhats (@CadiumShiba_118) reported

    The battle pass isn’t self sustainable. Bullshit. Blizzard needs to fix that right now. #OW2 #Overwatch #Overwatch2 @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • zithyx Zithyx (@zithyx) reported

    @MercySMH @toxicXcr3am @PlayOverwatch It's a graphics update for Overwatch 1. They had 6 years to fix the problems.

  • Cactus_Puppy CactusPuppy 💙 (@Cactus_Puppy) reported

    @SFShock In SF Shock's "Trying to get into Overwatch 2 like...", the extensive black screen after the end of the content is not an editing error, but actually symbolic of the long wait that players are currently experiencing. In this essay, I will

  • TxellMecMic Meritxell Saavedra 🎗️ (@TxellMecMic) reported

    overwatch 2 is not working for me please I PAID FOR THE ****** PACK OPEN THE SERVERS YOU RATS @PlayOverwatch

  • austinha1e Austin Hale (@austinha1e) reported

    I’ve done every suggested fix and Overwatch 2 is STILL crashing on startup -_-

  • me0wsme0w Spooky Me0w (@me0wsme0w) reported

    Still haven't gotten into overwatch due to server errors. You would think it would atleast just leave me at the front of queue instead of forcing me to relaunch and go through the 30000+ queue again. #thanksBlizzard

  • Xenulo Xennyn (@Xenulo) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Me and a lot of other people are missing a lot of the skins we had back in Overwatch 1. Please fix this.

  • mrshittygoat Mr.Goatkindashit (@mrshittygoat) reported

    @BlizzardCS can we turn the world of Warcraft servers down and get a better server for overwatch 2? I think no one would mind it

  • TheSuccubunny Nogi ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡ ENVtuber (@TheSuccubunny) reported

    anyways so maybe I don't overwatch 2 stream today ;-; I was in the practice range for like 10 minutes and I got kicked bc of a server error.

  • NekoTCGCollect NekoTCGCollect (@NekoTCGCollect) reported

    @vctrfs @PlayOverwatch First problem, it’s overwatch Second problem, there’s a 2 following it

  • W01F_CRY W01FCRY (@W01F_CRY) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why do I sit in a queue for 2 hours get into a game, disconnect in the middle of my game and wait back in queue with 30,000 ahead of me... #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • odinskyhammer Odinskyhammer (@odinskyhammer) reported

    How weird that big streamers are on overwatch 2 while all the rest are conveniently having server issues.

  • Sw1pz_ Sw1pz (@Sw1pz_) reported

    My overwatch 2 experience so far: Waited 30mins to get into the game, played for 10 mins, game decided to disconnect me. Nice.

  • TheMarineFox Average OWL Enjoyer (@TheMarineFox) reported

    @BlizzardCS im still having issues logging into the Overwatch 2 servers, fyi I merged my accounts on OW1

  • candlenookco Jacob (@candlenookco) reported

    So overwatch streamers get to play with no lag and log in as soon as possible yet everyone else has to wait including people who bought the watch point pack? Not starting of very good #Overwatch2
