Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Pippers02 Pippers (@Pippers02) reported

    @CameraColossus It's actual insanity. I even remember early on when they were saying "Oh don't worry, if you don't upgrade to Overwatch 2 you can still play the PvP mode with no issues with Overwatch 2 players!" And here we are, Overwatch 1 deleted. Gone. With way too many core gameplay changes

  • MediShoku low red (@MediShoku) reported

    crying over overwatch shutting its servers down cause I'm real

  • polyanitsaa Sveta (@polyanitsaa) reported

    ngl i feel really sick about ow2 not just cause of overwatch changes by itself. but by the larger picture of another "complete" game dying and another live service battle pass garbage replacing it

  • AnthonyLeBrun13 Anthony LeBrun (@AnthonyLeBrun13) reported

    @HoshizoraOW Congratulations Hoshi, the only problem is I forgot to merged my original Overwatch account so I might be redoing everything all over again. I'm hoping we can team up someday.

  • DIGFinrod Ignacio Silva (@DIGFinrod) reported

    @OverwatchLatAm Plz more servers in LATAM! the continent is big and the lag is heavy!

  • YaibaBeats STEEN (@YaibaBeats) reported

    Damn they just straight up shut the OG Overwatch servers down????

  • idlemeister_ azu (@idlemeister_) reported

    people keep saying overwatch 1 service ended but overwatch 2 is literally just an update with a number slapped on

  • brapsniffer Chris (@brapsniffer) reported

    @JoeCool_WiiU Splatoon is a peer to peer game. Its the reason why call of duty games from decades ago are still "up". Overwatch was a service game with dedicated servers. Not really viable to keep servers like that up forever. Not to mention that splatoons progress etc is all stored locally.

  • MakadeVassele Makade Vassele (@MakadeVassele) reported

    Overwatch 1 Servers officially DOWN, Fornite servers down. Wtf am I to do with myself. Terrible timing, yo @EpicGames. @Blizzard_Ent

  • InsaneIdiot2 InsaneIdiot (@InsaneIdiot2) reported

    @DarkSunFemme It low-key just feels like boomer gamer paranoia cause there aren't independent servers you can run overwatch on but like Titanfall 2 has a current player base of 5 ppl and they still support multiplayer, the community would actually have to crash into dust for it to die

  • areadbhaaar bailey (@areadbhaaar) reported

    so before i started taking normal pills i had really really really horrendous anger issues and overwatch would exacerbate them so bad lmao its probably better that i quit

  • fourhman Joe Fourhman (@fourhman) reported

    I don’t know a thing about Overwatch, I just think it’s weird when an ongoing live service game acts like it’s now its own sequel.

  • BlackHandSmith Smith (@BlackHandSmith) reported

    When overwatch first came out it was one of the coolest games. Every character was equally broken and that made it fun to play. Then they messed up with that chaos and tried to balance it. Then Blizzard deflected any criminal acts by making characters gay to mess with SEO

  • Imaginemod Just Imagine (@Imaginemod) reported

    Has there been another live service game like Overwatch that's completely shut down as soon as its sequel is out? Or is this completely unique situation?

  • Busterman64 Busterman64(Joshua)🎨 (@Busterman64) reported

    @platypuzzled @ItsHimboTyler Its a mixture of things. But I feel one of the main reasons for hate right now is the mistreatment & misconduct allegations at Activision-Blizzard. Overwatch's public image wasn't exactly terrible before those issues came to light, but it definitely TANKED after they did.

  • Majorly_Mad No Stanley Zone (@Majorly_Mad) reported

    NO ONE TOLD ME THEY ALREADY TOOK THE OVERWATCH SERVERS DOWN

  • Busterman64 Busterman64(Joshua)🎨 (@Busterman64) reported

    @platypuzzled @ItsHimboTyler Point is... Overwatch isn't perfect, but its not as horrible as some people make it out to be...but the issues at Activision-Blizzard still need to be dealt will. I hope Microsoft buying AB will help change things, but we'll have to wait and see if work conditions improve.

  • ToniZams Toni (@ToniZams) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch originality out the door as well. 5v5 mode "Battlepass" Character Unlocks "Live Service" I miss when games had actual originality rather than all games have the same exact model

  • KharloKong Gooigi's Delicious Green *** (@KharloKong) reported

    @BearScareBeauty The real problem is when battle passes, stages, etc. release at a snail's pace. Think of Halo Infinite as a good example of this problem. I don't think Overwatch 2 will be lacking content.

  • Kazru88 Kaz (@Kazru88) reported

    @DomsPlaying Never fixed HotS and stopped support. WoW tokens and gold farming rampant. Warcraft 3 Reforged received horribly. D2R launched broken, console still broken and forums flooded with bots. Overwatch 2 makes little to no sense. Diablo Immortal built for money. The list goes on.

  • mau_nyx Nyx 🐱☕ | ENVtuber Redebut 12.12.22 (@mau_nyx) reported

    @StirFriedTofus I think now you just open Overwatch itself if you own it! It'll say "servers are down" but it'll eventually show you a QR Code for you to scan, which then leads you to login and put the code that's shown on the left side of the screen :0 That's what my Xbox did for me!

  • MOOEY_DRAWS MOOEY (@MOOEY_DRAWS) reported

    I don't really play overwatch much anymore, but it's so wack that blizzard took the servers down. It's basically saying "Here's overwatch 2! Its free! Oh and if you don't like this product over OW1, suck my nuts".

  • Ektos_Plasma Ektos, Chaos Fluff Ball of DOOM 🤣 (@Ektos_Plasma) reported

    @BlizzardCS yall, what is up with your customer service???? I've had a ticket open for almost a week now. Had to give information twice and i still can't update my accounts phone number with less than 20 hours until Overwatch 2. Like?????

  • GTElephant CrashT (@GTElephant) reported

    I talk a lot about Overwatch so let’s be clear here: Activision Blizzard is a company that allowed some truly heinous **** to fester and still has substantial issues it needs to resolve, and there are people who were “let go” or who “stepped down” that should probably be in jail.

  • voices241 🎃Spooky Arron!🎃 (@voices241) reported

    @Khanigore I guess they shut those servers down in order to make way for overwatch 2 which I’ve heard it was going to be free to play with some kind of battle pass maybe I don’t know that’s what I’ve heard

  • flameirl Matt Rodriguez (@flameirl) reported

    Still mad they were called Lucio-ohs and not Luci-Ohs Overwatch 2 still has time to fix this

  • Nogamestoday112 Nogamestoday (@Nogamestoday112) reported

    overwatch is gone. tomorrow the OW2 servers ******* crash with the amount of people who are gonna be playing

  • DavetheCamel DavetheCamel (@DavetheCamel) reported

    I'm not saying you can't play Overwatch 2, but I won't be. The problems with Activision-Blizzard's culture are well documented and still ongoing. They don't deserve my money or my support of their products

    Glad I spent all my money on overwatch just for them to shut the servers down
