Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • sharklee43 no (@sharklee43) reported

    @Xbox @XboxSupport Overwatch 2 won’t let me play at all. It seems like a few people are having an issue where it says, “The Overwatch free trial is not available at this time”…. What is the issue ?

  • Any_broncos_fan Anyone (@Any_broncos_fan) reported

    @Qwik I feel like this was an avoidable issue. The accounts should have been merged months, really even years ago to reward players who supported overwatch with a basic feature. Instead we get locked out day 1 of the new update. Unfriendly consumer policies ftw.

  • thegoIdenghost Spookyblurry 🎃 (@thegoIdenghost) reported

    Reaper ddos’ed the game because he wants overwatch gone.

  • Fernand39741014 ❎ FDaylight 🇧🇷 (FLegion) (@Fernand39741014) reported

    @Puffy32726789 @PlayOverwatch Pathetic defending a company mistake and putting the players to blame. Overwatch 1 was released and didn't have that many issues.

  • SwagPunchaHo Swagatron (@SwagPunchaHo) reported

    @Vision12_ does this fix the overwatch 2 servers as well?

  • hylian_jpg (@hylian_jpg) reported

    Overwatch shut down their old servers for repurposing them as OW2 servers and they still got DDoS'd lmao

  • Shpammmmuh Oscar😵‍💫 (@Shpammmmuh) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi I just launch overwatch 2 and none of my progress from the first game transferred over is there a way to fix this?

  • samuelwebby_ sam (@samuelwebby_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I bought the beta and had golden guns and a ton of stuff on my overwatch account and now I get in and have nothing! Anybody else have the same problem?

  • kevindeanisback Kevin Dean (@kevindeanisback) reported

    Well I damn well hope @Blizzard_Ent are going to stop selling all versions of #Overwatch considering it is a broken product now because it has gone off-line with no way to access it, because it is extremely illegal to sell broken products to your customers.

  • Jaeger74 Jaeger, Werewolf time! (@Jaeger74) reported

    Destiny 2: We historically have had some of the worst server issues when new content is released Overwatch: Hold my beer

  • kuhauffahrrad M.🕊 skür skür (@kuhauffahrrad) reported

    @seanrossc @Tropic_oo I logged and saw all my items are gone, it would be to stupid if you had to log in befor Overwatch 2 launches, i hope it is just a Server issue.

  • anonRAFR Foxx (@anonRAFR) reported

    @KaraiSuzuki the issue is, that's overwatch 1

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @hamezfr @PlayOverwatch The fact that u don’t understand any of this is funny glad I don’t have to explain it to u so many people already did it will be funny if after saying this u end up having the same problem cause if u got pre paid phone u won’t be able to play overwatch

  • llDeceptiJonll DeceptiJon (@llDeceptiJonll) reported

    Asia Server seems to be a bit more stable to login. Still have a 2000 player queue though 😭 #Overwatch

  • IronWolfNet_ Iron Wolf | Halloween Ends 🎃 (@IronWolfNet_) reported

    I loaded in Overwatch 2 & saw the Main Menu Screen & saw a little bit of what was included in battlepass but when I tried purchasing the battlepass since I get it for free since I own Watchpoint Pack, it gave me error saying failed to purchase, I made the mistake by closing game

  • conjuredlion ConjuredLion (@conjuredlion) reported

    Overwatch 2 is going through a DDoS attack, I'm taking a nap 🛌

  • Teddyrick42 42 🐢 (@Teddyrick42) reported

    Lmao overwatch 2 releases and gets DDOS. Maybe be more friendly with 2FA? Just phones and no prepaid is horrible honestly

  • GabeSerling Gabe/Serling 🎭 (@GabeSerling) reported

    If you can't connect to Overwatch 2's NA servers login to the Asia servers! It's SAFE!

  • VivaLaVince1 Vincent 🎃 (@VivaLaVince1) reported

    @Qwik DDos nah I don't think so,when overwatch 2 has got 500k viewers on twitch which I'm guessing they're trying to log in and its free to play...

  • WesleyH16368838 Roxas Red Hood (@WesleyH16368838) reported

    I swear if I have issues getting in Overwatch 2 I'mma be confused and slightly frustrated that's it

  • ObiaXD Obia (@ObiaXD) reported

    Just streamed Overwatch 2 and it ended it the most spectacular way: DDOS attack freeze right as I lose Junkertown 🫠

  • Foundation_FN Foundation (@Foundation_FN) reported

    @ModernWarzone Why DDOs overwatch other concern doing this or what exactly?

  • JahlilWill Jah (@JahlilWill) reported

    If I continue down this path of clicking "try again" every 5 minutes after receiving an error message, I will go insane. For now, I'm just going to turn the game off and continue my training for Screen Rant. I got a job as a gaming news writer! I can Overwatch 2 later... I think

  • ElliottBros1 Jordan Elliott (@ElliottBros1) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS please fix this thing where we have to have a post paid phone number to sign onto Overwatch 2. I had to borrow my roommate’s phone to log in but I can’t use his number forever. This is so bad.

  • Fernand39741014 ❎ FDaylight 🇧🇷 (FLegion) (@Fernand39741014) reported

    @Sendy38139740 @PlayOverwatch pathetic defending a company mistake and putting the players to blame. Overwatch 1 was released and didn't have that many issues.

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @NezhaHyuga @hamezfr @PlayOverwatch That’s the problem that most these dumb people don’t realize most people with a certain type of phone plan can’t play it if u got cricket no overwatch for u

  • TomiPicklez Tommy Pickles (@TomiPicklez) reported

    @StewieGrifflol @IGN They’re a BILLION dollar company, and have been preparing for Overwatch 2 for years now. It’s not a DDoS attack dude, they’re saying that so they simply don’t have to face the repercussions of their own terrible actions.

  • KatsuneUK ❄️ツkinari❄️ (@KatsuneUK) reported

    OVERWATCH SERVERS ARE BEING DDoS'd lmaooooooooo💀 blizzard take a hint, something aint right

  • DetachedClown 𝔍𝔢𝔫𝔫𝔦𝔣𝔢𝔯 (@DetachedClown) reported

    Overwatch please…. This continuous server error is making me angry

  • Cheese_Ho12 Cheese! (@Cheese_Ho12) reported

    @XboxSupport Is there a solution to the log in errors and 30k long queue for Overwatch 2?
