Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • R23_RC R23 (@R23_RC) reported

    I did not expect Overwatch 2 to be struck by a DDoS attack, let alone a second time. Then again, I also did not expect the game to be better than it's predecessor.

  • dubuval Jay (@dubuval) reported

    overwatch 2 would be really fun if i didn’t disconnect mid game every game and go back into queue

  • SlusheeWolf2AD Women'sRightsExist 🔜 MFF (@SlusheeWolf2AD) reported

    @lackingsaint Just a reminder that an employee killed herself due to employee harassment, way before OverWatch 2 came out. This is not the first time that @ATVI_AB screwed people over and it will not be the last time either. Play @PaladinsGame instead for that OW fix.

  • S0cial_R3jects Dani Nicole (@S0cial_R3jects) reported

    @_ThunderBuddy29 @PlayOverwatch I noticed this also before overwatch two came out. I merged a while back but before the actual game launched it said to merge again.. so I did and I actually had no issue besides the battle pass. It didn’t ask for a phone number or anything. Idk why you would have to do it twice

  • S0cial_R3jects Dani Nicole (@S0cial_R3jects) reported

    @_ThunderBuddy29 @PlayOverwatch But, from what I see (in my friend group) everyone who hit merge before the game went to overwatch 2 had no issues and the ones (in my friend group) who didn’t are experiencing this same issue and a phone number issue of the game not recognizing it

  • eunchaessera ENTWURF ⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ John (@eunchaessera) reported

    overwatch 2 is actually fun just the ddos hackers omfg

  • cryptiicrose 😵‍💫Boriqua Billy Hargrove🫣@ BHARDZ NATION 💪 (@cryptiicrose) reported

    @Cherrrished I QUOTE THIS POST LIKE ONCE AN OVERWATCH LOGIN I SWEAR IT MAKES ME LOAE MY MIND WVERYTKME

  • CelestialUmbran SpookyUmbran (@CelestialUmbran) reported

    Can someone confirm if im supposed to just keep pressing A when I get an error and try again on overwatch 2

  • MarsButVirtual Mars (@MarsButVirtual) reported

    @Nibellion IT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED, it has only been modified to allow existing Overwatch players to play without a phone number. New players are still subject to the issues already at hand.

  • PropainTrain Cool Uncle Hank (@PropainTrain) reported

    Maybe ill get to login in to overwatch tonight

  • Def_A_Cool_Guy Ol_Haba (@Def_A_Cool_Guy) reported

    @Plasmaposting Overwatch doesn’t have this problem however. I just learned that prepaid phones don’t work either. Which is wack. That’s like 30% or more people could be playing. This game is a laundering scheme or tax write off 100%

  • AshMaster56 Ashley (@AshMaster56) reported

    When did it become acceptable for companies to release broken games? Overwatch is an absolute mess right now. I’ve never played something this broken on release and @PlayOverwatch should be embarrassed.

  • Average_griz AG (@Average_griz) reported

    There’s only 50 people in my queue every time and i@ still getting a error. I thought yall some what fix the error part. Overwatch 2 is pissing me off.

  • bobtopp36744 Bobb Topp (@bobtopp36744) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I still can't play overwatch 2. I merged my Xbox and PC account and can't play on either. Both give me login errors and unexpected server errors. I thought the issue with merged accounts was solved? Or is this a different separate issue? I just wanna play man

  • ogi_samvila Ogi (@ogi_samvila) reported

    @Nibellion "We designed Overwatch 2 to be a live service" 🤮

  • Velvettie 🩸VELVET🩸Blood Moon Goddess Vtuber🩸 (@Velvettie) reported

    I got a call of someone that daid they will fix my irl troubles an legit made half of it go away, now if only the overwatch severs stop dying an then this will be a good day. also someone told me i have nice boobs, thanx friend

  • ItzSimplyKairi Kairi (@ItzSimplyKairi) reported

    is there anyone on xbox that can get into the game? am concerned it may only be me having this much issue i’ve been in queue for 38 hours or so and still haven’t made it in once @overwatch

  • No_Ohio_01 Ohio Doesn’t Exist (@No_Ohio_01) reported

    @RooJones6 @Xbox You were allowed the chance to merge your accounts before overwatch 2 came out. If you did that than maybe glitch?

    Today I managed to finally enter overwatch 2 and when I was in a prompt said: Hey, close your game so we can merge your account, did it. Now I cannot log in because of the LC-208 error 😑 @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch
