Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • YukinariSasaki7 //Rika Bernkastel (@YukinariSasaki7) reported

    I am so glad I didn’t buy the Watchpoint Pack for Overwatch 2. They should’ve know how many people there gonna be to play this Free-to-Play game, server disconnections, and login/sign-in issues. However, that is what the beta was for, to combat these issues on day 1 on launch!!

  • Rainbow_Phoenyx Jensyn Valor May (@Rainbow_Phoenyx) reported

    Super bummed that all the issues with #Overwatch2 are preventing me from playing. Plus the fact that it has replaced Overwatch 1, so now I can’t play my favorite game at all. Really disappointed, @Blizzard_Ent

  • zagthans hunter (@zagthans) reported

    wish I could actually play overwatch 2 but I just keep getting server error 🥲

  • OWChan_ CHAN (@OWChan_) reported

    @Kephrii Yeah, glad I wasn’t the only one feeling these effects. @PlayOverwatch fix soon or revert back to overwatch 1’s way.

  • sifuhallyu sifuhallyu (@sifuhallyu) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Requiring a phone number to download Overwatch is ludicrous. I haven't paid for cell phone service in 10 years. Everywhere I go has wifi and VoiP works just fine. Fix that ****. @PlayOverwatch

  • AkiPhonic 🌸 Aki || Half Demon Vtuber✨ (@AkiPhonic) reported

    Anyone else having a issue with losing the ability to play all characters in Overwatch 2? I had the game previously and was in a game as dva got kicked out then got back in with all of my characters locked wtf #Overwatch

  • 95BlockCaptain veeks💕 (@95BlockCaptain) reported

  • Faifur Faifur | Goblin Vtuber (@Faifur) reported

    my only issue with Overwatch 2 is the same issue i had with 1. If you DC, you better be back QUICK or be locked out of the game. Why would you lock someone out of rejoining a ranked game regardless of time

  • Spyder2K1 SPYDER2K1 (@Spyder2K1) reported

    @blizzard @OverWatch I have no idea what it keeps saying that using my phone number and every time I put my phone number in it says I supposed to have a paid phone number with 0 in it and my number don't have a zero can you please fix this now

  • CrossRaven CrossRaven (@CrossRaven) reported

    Gundam Evolution devs were at least communicative during their launch issues. Overwatch made a tweet 8 hours ago saying "yeah there's issues" and then dropped off the face of the earth because streamers had no problem logging in and that's all that matters.

  • Donjuli77903082 Don julio (@Donjuli77903082) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Called quits after wasting about 8 hours trying to play. Been playing since season 1 of overwatch 1, doubt y’all will ever see my tweet, but really god damn disappointed. Sucks to see mid content creators playing with ease when my entire afternoon is in the toilet. Plz fix.

  • DapperDonGeoff Geoff Morales (@DapperDonGeoff) reported

    damn 6 hrs and still cant sign in on overwatch

  • MercyMa34272188 idk (@MercyMa34272188) reported

    Have been trying to queue for overwatch since 2:20 EST. My boyfriend has gotten in numerous times and it keeps denying me. @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS PLEASE fix this! I’ve spent so much time money and effort on this game just for it to screw me over.

  • TsukiDeez jose (@TsukiDeez) reported

    Ive been playing Overwatch 2 just fine no server issues or nothing

  • Inky_Buns Inky Buns (@Inky_Buns) reported

    As far as I know overwatch 2 is just a grey void with server issues.

  • relyKDottxt relyK.txt 🎷🦐 (@relyKDottxt) reported

    I could’ve spent hours of my life doing something else but no. I had to waste my time waiting for Overwatch 2 to load only to wait 3 hours til midnight to play nothing. Great job DDoS guy, you ruined my ******* day.

  • ITSN0TJAMES james cast (@ITSN0TJAMES) reported

    is anyone else having issues buying the overwatch 2 battle pass or is it just me

  • ChamooLive Phil 🇳🇿 (@ChamooLive) reported

    Those who are Overwatch 1 vets have been greeted with locked characters in Overwatch 2. This is a bug and I hope Blizzard can fix this.

  • xdxmun Cxpia ⁀➷ (@xdxmun) reported

    @transylvictor Overwatch is apparently prioritizing Streamings because none of the streamers had this issue >:(

  • TheGamingCardYT Ricky (@TheGamingCardYT) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I can't find if this is a known issue, but I don't have all the characters unlocked in OW2 and I've owned and played Overwatch since release.

  • Lovecraft_1937 H.P. Lovecraft (@Lovecraft_1937) reported

    Ok @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I done paid $40 for your free to play Overwatch 2, just to get home from a stressful day at work and get hit with log in errors and infinite queues. This is not cool, bros.

  • ThrillerJ_ ThrillerJ (@ThrillerJ_) reported

    Thoughts on overwatch Day 1. Fun to play but so many issues that are just stupid. Not even bugs but stuff like locking heroes behind paywalls or the game not merging my skins or stats from the previous game. To rough to be called a full game. The gameplay does feel good.
