    Nice chill overwatch 2 stream today :) Did a few placement games but sadly 1 was won by 3 enemies rage quitting and one getting dc'd :/ game feels refreshing over ow1 but still have too many issues so hopefully they fix it soon

    @killerklown_55 @Canadianguyehh @thegameawards As for the reason why it's coming to Steam, I have a hunch that Wumpa League will build off of Crash 4's foundation — as it was originally developed to be a multiplayer companion of that game. Whether they do the Overwatch 2 route or make it its own title, remains to be seen.

  • RetriasTFC Ötis Jøhnsøn (@RetriasTFC) reported

  • CDGSU chase (@CDGSU) reported

    Overwatch 2 is mostly playable but Blizzard can’t fix how dogshit you all are at DPS

  • jaden_schock Jaden Schock (@jaden_schock) reported

    Dear @Blizzard_Ent make dva an actual character and not a crutch, she needs a damage and major health nerf, I have not played a single game with her where she has not killed me unfairly. Fix your game please, just like a repeat of your first overwatch.

  • 8_18_sleezy sleezy (@8_18_sleezy) reported

    @PlayOverwatch please fix the overwatch coins problem

  • SammyVinsmoke FLAME EMPEROR SZN (@SammyVinsmoke) reported

    @oOFearless13Oo @PlayOverwatch Yep I played overwatch since 2016 and have spent a lot of money on it hopefully they fix it fast

  • swxysgg swxys (@swxysgg) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ honestly i think blizzard thought Overwatch 2 was gonna be a flop, and i don't think they prepared themselves for all the new people returning back. hope they can fix the server errors so people can make an unbiased opinion on actual gameplay and not fixable bugs/stability issues

  • pinkuexorcist Echo's #1 fan (@pinkuexorcist) reported

    Overwatch had the audacity to give me login errors so I'd miss the window of getting back into the game, thank you

  • Mickey_Tea19 Mcbitch🍟 (@Mickey_Tea19) reported

    I have been trying to play Overwatch 2 all day. I have seen ppl playing. Yet somehow I can’t connect to the ******* servers. And keep getting server errors. On every platform. PS4, PC and switch. All errors. Wtf

  • lauracbaa lauracbaa (@lauracbaa) reported

    By syncs I mean it connecting to the cloud and the pop up will appear at the start of loading on a new console and it will say Overwatch 2 is Syncing... If you get an error with that, it's something to do with PS/Switch/Xbox/Blizzard and the account merge.

  • ugl2367 🍀Jampi nevaguins 🪪 (@ugl2367) reported

    @AlexanderWhos Rn the things are super messy cause it’s the firsts days. Check if you have your stuff cause I don’t have my stuff yet from overwatch 1 (a friend had the same problem and it already solved for him). They’re still solving the issues, but there’s a queue to merge:)

  • boody_turkomani boody turkomani (@boody_turkomani) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @overwatch2 can you plead fix the game i want to play overwatch 2 you are going to lose players

  • capAHcinno 🛰️ ollie 🛸 OW2 IS OUT!!! (@capAHcinno) reported

    a lot of players out of their accounts with the LC-208 error. And hasn’t really given anyone an idea of when a fix could be happening. And yeah it’s first world problems boohoo I don’t get to play overwatch over the weekend. Idk I just hate the lack of transparency and would

  • gloomcoco Fuecoco's mom 🔥 (@gloomcoco) reported

    I was able to play Overwatch 2 just fine yesterday but since the last update I keep getting error messages on both PC and PS4. Can't believe how much of a **** show this game's launch has been considering this is pretty much just a reskin of the base game.

  • PapiRocksteady Rocksteady (@PapiRocksteady) reported

    Okay so, 7-0’d placements to get bronze 5 in Overwatch 2, proceeded to go 7-1 for the next skill tier update to get updated to… bronze 5??? Is competitive just broken right now I don’t understand

  • grimoxxy moxie (@grimoxxy) reported

    same thing with overwatch but the only thing they need to fix is their queue times and the watchpoint preorder

  • SeanSterNelson Stean Nelston (@SeanSterNelson) reported

    The fact that Overwatch 2 servers have been down for almost 24 hours for many players is frustrating on its own, but the fact that @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS haven’t even acknowledged the issue publicly is maddening. People have been reaching out for a day and have heard nothing.

  • ajmosher21 Anthony Mosher (@ajmosher21) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fix the game for overwatch 2 was able to play it fine yesterday night on my switch and ps4 but today all I keep getting is the LC-208 error code and I have restarted my router / un linked my accounts and re linked them back to the said systems. HELP!

  • ItsAlsoAGun4 Ruby Rose (@ItsAlsoAGun4) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I was finally playing overwatch last night after 3 days of "Unexpected Server Error"... After the downtime last night it's right back to where it was. All I get on both PC and PS5 is "Unexpected Server Error and LC-208"

  • Benvva b3nni11 (@Benvva) reported

    @SplatBaller97 @SuffusedNight @br3bretree I payed for overwatch, been playing since 2018 I have played before it was free, the service is absolutely just terrible they are literally killing their own game.

  • Scott93366297 scott (@Scott93366297) reported

    @kinda_retardedd Overwatch 2 is fun and I haven’t had any problems but it’s also very apparent now how many characters are in need of nerfs
