  • everplay3 everplay (@everplay3) reported

    @BIizzardSupport hello i'm european and i play overwatch but since more than a month the game keep sending me to the korea server making the game unplayable because of the ping is there anything i can do to solve that issue ? (yes the europe server are selected)

  • JebSuspended Jeb The Sociopath Bush (@JebSuspended) reported

    @PhoenixKa1 @Solidrev1 Very much disagree here. Activision has popular IPs all across the board. Overwatch will do well on Game Pass, Diablo, WoW, COD, Crash, Spyro etc Then add the fact that Microsoft genuinely does care about employees and want an entire reform. It's advantageous to them...

  • XboxBible Game Pass Xpert (@XboxBible) reported

    @EverbornSaga I'm there with you. COD MP is boring. Haven't really enjoyed it since Black Ops 3, but I did enjoy Overwatch and was interested in part 2. I didn't like the RTS, but StarCraft: Ghost had me attention. And of course a Crash and Spyro game would be dope.

  • SatayPollo_EXE Dolores Madrigal superfan (@SatayPollo_EXE) reported

    Anyway **** take and I'm sure there's other series that have the same problem but I really only hear this said about overwatch (RWBY apparently???? ) I hate overwatch btw

  • TheRealExu Exu (@TheRealExu) reported

    ayo is Overwatch League Viewer Current not working for anyone else? everytime i launch it, i can see all the matches from last year for like 2 seconds then it crashes to a black screen

  • optyck rosi 🧨 (@optyck) reported

    I’m gonna get banned on overwatch for telling ppl to stop making their dads not loving them a me problem.

  • DioGomes13 YamiDiddz (@DioGomes13) reported

    @NyykaVevo @cronieees @IGN I agree. I dont see Xboz buying this studios and making all the games exclusive. Skyrim, COD, Overwatch, Diablo. I dont see any of these games being exclusives ever. Deathloop, Spyro, Dishonored, Crash Bandicoot on the other hand are a different story.

    overwatch community now being split apart by streamers having hot takes about nft stuff guess i can check that one off my 2022 bingo, if you are for nfts and or just say "OH i DonT hAve A poSiTion oN the TopIc" you are the problem please see yourself out /s

  • BlondiiSwag Blondii (@BlondiiSwag) reported

    yo @CORSAIR your ICUE program gives driver errors to overwatch, wanna talk about it? Took me a few days to figure out crashes, but its all youuuuuu

  • OrigiGreatness OddAIs #HokagoPlushClub🐰 (@OrigiGreatness) reported

    @Dal_ayy @shadow_griever @theDualSense Cod, wow, overwatch, diablo, crash, spyro, etc

  • AlexJacobs1337 Alex (@AlexJacobs1337) reported

    @IGN Xbox: CoD, Minecraft, Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot etc. remain multi platform despite being Microsoft properties. Sony: 🦗🦗🦗

  • BFCommPolls BF:2042 Community Polls (@BFCommPolls) reported

    Sorry for redoing the tweet, had an issue with poll attaching to it. As a reference, overwatch typically is patched every two, sometimes 3 weeks.

  • Shokio_YT TLOC | Shokio (@Shokio_YT) reported

    With their acquisitions, Microsoft could actually do a crossover fighter now that wouldn't have a completely laughable roster. Between Banjo, Halo, Gears, Spyro, Crash, Overwatch, WoW, Starcraft, and Bethesda's IP's, they could have a pretty solid roster.

  • aqshamuhammad muhammad aqsha (@aqshamuhammad) reported

    @rechzyfirmnsyah fix overwatch

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    The way I see this deal going is simple. Existing multiplatform franchises like COD, Spyro/Crash, Diablo, and Overwatch will still release on PS4 and PS5 as planned. Should a studio choose to work on a new IP or dormant franchise, it MIGHT be Seried X/S exclusive.

  • SDFRiver [G1] SDF River (@SDFRiver) reported

    Going to give @PaladinsGame a shot to get my Overwatch fix. Looks promising and @watsonameliaEN voicing is a bonus.

  • Tristilii Tristan (@Tristilii) reported

    WANN IST VALORANT ZU EINER ******* COD/OVERWATCH MISCHUNG GEWORDEN RIOT FIX YOUR ******* GAME

  • indie_xbox Xbox Indie Gamer (@indie_xbox) reported

    I could care less about COD or Overwatch I’m just excited for High Moon Studios and Radical GameS getting to work on an actual game. Maybe Prototype, Spyro, Singularity, Crash and more will get consistent good games now

  • Rumotu Gotta go fat (@Rumotu) reported

    @AutoDraws Imagine all the FF 7R sales spike on pc right now. If overwatch taught me something, that's it. And to think that people was not liking the pc price for the game. Problem solved.

  • AgentBooyah Agent (@AgentBooyah) reported

    not to sound like a broken record but i really ******* miss overwatch and spellbreak lololol. should i give apex another chance? to try to fill the void? idk.. i wasn’t into it when i tried it but i also still had my other games as options back then so maybe i’ll feel differently

  • TysonB31762964 TysonB (@TysonB31762964) reported

    @Solidrev1 All the cod support studios can go back to making games, new tony hawk, crash bandicoot, an Xbox kart racer or beenox makes banjo kazooie 3. Blizzard can have the funding and be less greedy and repair WOW, Diablo and Overwatch. 2/6

  • Rafael40331855 Rafael (@Rafael40331855) reported

    @TopBoyNews OverWatch,crash and cod black ops 4

  • SmokeKaon Joey (@SmokeKaon) reported

    @Illi90842965 @ScottJund Ahah. Same can happened to console. I remember an exploit on console Overwatch where some players could make people lag or even disconnect them.

  • softshonen meowthew✨BDOG DAY+1 (@softshonen) reported

    why did they have to ruin overwatch so bad, be everyone still wants to play it even tho it’s hot garbage and they still don’t fix it ;-;

  • stratiSphere Alex Stratis (@stratiSphere) reported

    How do you know the Overwatch is broken? Because smurfs are running rampant, bypassing matchmaking. Want to reset your exp lvl so the game doesn't know what your skill level is? Buy a new account and the game will think you are new and match you with new players. @PlayOverwatch

  • nature_aus Nature Is Everywhere (@nature_aus) reported

    @FungiFlicker @WeAreJoel @PlayOverwatch Neither is overwatch, and yet both things are heavily influenced by consumer interaction/opinions/fan service.

  • jinx3d_ ex mortis (@jinx3d_) reported

    @PostUp_bbb All casual gamers need to hear is that the new COD is coming to gamepass day one-same service with the new Halo, Forza, and presumably other games like Overwatch, and theyll be sold immediately

  • AsheMercymaker Amélie Lacroix (Multi muse) (@AsheMercymaker) reported

    @WhorishTracer “Chérie I haven’t had a reason to kill you for nearly three years. In fact the only reason I’ve not tried to form any sort of alliance with my organization and Overwatch is due to those broken relationships and trust issues.. Maybe you’ll tell them of my friendly hello?”

  • juan_kruh Juan Kruh (@juan_kruh) reported

    @Darccage Ips that Xbox stole from Playstation Users -Elder Scrolls -Fallout -Doom -Wolfenstein -Overwatch -Call of Duty -Tony Hawk -Crash -Spyro -Diablo -Starcraft -Warcraft Ips that Sony stole from Xbox Users -Sunset Overdrive

  • BoydNanookm Gamer Dad (@BoydNanookm) reported

    @RitterVitaly @XcloudTimdog Yep there's Crash & Spyro, also they have development, aside from CoD, Diablo 4 & Overwatch 2. Furthermore they have extant games that aren't on console such as WoW, Starcraft, Hearthstone to name a few that could be for the 1st time. No offense but your assurance is meaningless.
