  • GH0STBLVDE million (@GH0STBLVDE) reported

    im getting the overwatch 2 error that has to do with my network connection but overwatch is literally the only game on my console having this problem

  • TimInsano Tim Hutchison (@TimInsano) reported

    @imAVRL Honestly the cosmetics in Overwatch 2 are not my problem. People just willfully ignoring literally everything that came out about Activision-Blizzard in the last two years is what gets me. There was no accountability and no justice. Every person responsible is STILL THERE.

  • DATDANKHOMIE Jupiter Hexenson (@DATDANKHOMIE) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX THE DAMN CAREER PROFILE TRACKING PLZ @PlayOverwatch

  • ItsVengey Vengey 🦉🕳️ Owl VTUBER 🕳️ (@ItsVengey) reported

    Just spent TWO HOURS trying to figure out why Overwatch 2 would not launch and I just now got it to work Here's what I did in case anyone else has the same issues...🧵

  • MrMongoMike Mike Mayfield (@MrMongoMike) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’m having more trouble launching #Overwatch, sucks the company got rid of it for a horrible battle pass and Microtranactions to Play.

  • RicochetChase01 Crafty Arts (@RicochetChase01) reported

    @AskPlayStation hey, getting error code on PS4 NP-32429-0 anytime I try to turn on Overwatch/Overwatch 2 that crashes the game and logs me out of my psn account for the past couple years and I’ve never found a fix, what does the error code mean exactly

  • xPYLx Pyel (@xPYLx) reported

    I thought I would like Overwatch 2 but until they do some reworks and balancing idk man, not feeling especially the aim issue for console

  • Captain41Karma Karma (@Captain41Karma) reported

    I just realized that my time played reset on some heroes in Overwatch 2. Is there a fix for this @PlayOverwatch? All those hours are unlisted right now.... #Overwatch2

  • gagasluts GAGASLUTS (@gagasluts) reported

    Grimes is coming to fix every problem in overwatch 2 i just know it

  • YFNSpider YFNSpider (@YFNSpider) reported

    I don't understand how the Overwatch team could decide that Torbjorn and Bastion needed to be taken down a notch, but seriously believe Reaper is completely fine as is. Seriously, how did so many heroes manage to get so thoroughly broken going from Overwatch 1 to 2?

  • RoeRoeBoat James Roe (@RoeRoeBoat) reported

    @TheQuartering Overwatch has a glitch now that disconnects u and forces u to stay out of the game until the match ends, caused by unlocking an achievement. I've been suspended twice tonight @PlayOverwatch

  • toshirowo nadia 🎃 (@toshirowo) reported

    can any console overwatch players tell me if i need xbox gold to login and do the account merge bc i dont have plans to renew it but want to merge my stuff so i dont lose like 4 years of stats

  • ItsxLioness @HEIRLIONESS 🎠🧩 (@ItsxLioness) reported

    I got my 120hz monitor and don’t have the patience to stay getting kicked out overwatch servers in the middle of the match I was winning. Please fix your servers @PlayOverwatch

  • SmittyGuyYeah Smitty🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@SmittyGuyYeah) reported

    The ranking system in overwatch 2 is actually broken. I have above 10k healing in most of the comp games I play and yet I'm somehow a bronze 5 support and now I am unable to leave bronze 5 with the same performance. This launch is embarrassingly bad

  • JohnIsDie John (@JohnIsDie) reported

    My issue with the new overwatch skins aren't the price. It's very comparable to most f2p skin prices so idc. My issue is how mid they are. They do not look good at ALL lmao

  • MilkTeaOrbit SpookTeaWayGalaxy🎃 (@MilkTeaOrbit) reported

    @imAVRL Well, when the game *isn't* well made, and there's also a severe lack of fun optional side content, that's where the problem comes in... It's Overwatch 2

  • ryxcer Ryxcer (@ryxcer) reported

    @SectrrTV @FortniteGame Yeah overwatch val hell even minecraft just something you enjoy streaming that won't crash or ruin some vibes

  • Datastreak1 Data (@Datastreak1) reported

    @ImJustNajam @SpaceTiger94 This game did not just come out lmao. It’s overwatch with a 2 painted on it. It’s not out of the question to assume they’d do something during a release, rather than fix the broken mess of a game they have

  • JustClickNWatch CistReactZ (@JustClickNWatch) reported

    Has anyone ever had an issue where they watched the four hours for the Kiriko skin for the Overwatch 2 twitch drop but their battle net account never received the skin even though I checked and the right was linked and connected to my twitch?

  • BW22__ BW22 (@BW22__) reported

    Overwatch 2 now has bugged challenges and also somehow reset my unranked matches to 1 hour after having about 200 hours. What the hell is goin on over there. It’s a different problem(s) every day!

  • Tyfirna Noodle (@Tyfirna) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so broken. I literally started a match falling though the map.

  • TylorA6 Tylor A. (@TylorA6) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Nerf and fix players already. And so stupid I got to play 50 quick matches just to play ranked. So garbage. Ain't nobody trying to play lame quick match, especially 50 times. And this aint no overwatch 2.. more like overwatch new gen release.

  • GH0STBLVDE million (@GH0STBLVDE) reported

    apex of all games runs smoothly with no lag whatsoever but i overwatch 2 claims my internet is ****???!

  • enatsushiro shiroshiroshiro-chan (@enatsushiro) reported

    Tbh, overwatch 2 has been a fun train wreck to watch, every day it seems some new problem pops up, first it was "not enough server lol", then it was "do you not have phones?" now it's "there is a bug that forces you to buy cosmetics and no you will not get a refund, seethe"

  • _summerwars izzy (@_summerwars) reported

    i feel like having the understanding that comp is objectively not working as intended in Overwatch 2, i'm now back to playing OW as a chill/destress game, which is nice because i haven't had a go-to "i don't wanna think" game probably since i stopped playing smash regularly :-)

  • CrabLord9 CrabLord (@CrabLord9) reported

    @locoghoulSwitch Or lets talk about other games as well. Stuff like LoL, Overwatch. Games known to have a toxic community. Its because the game has serious problems that generate that type of toxicity.

  • GildedTabby We’re Comin’ At You Anyway! (@GildedTabby) reported

    @Tylerr_Creative @JumentoBR99 @Bolverk15 I do agree that 6V6 had many issues, but I don’t know if I like this more. Part of what I liked about Overwatch 1 was that it relied on skills other than JUST aim, such as positioning and game sense. That’s less relevant now, because the abilities that enabled that are gone.

  • CyberCelebi101 C3ntra Veraza (@CyberCelebi101) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ The $60 I paid for Overwatch about 6 years ago was already spent. I wasn’t funding the game at all after that point. And sadly, Overwatch is a live-service game, and so it needs a reliable stream of constant income.

  • cwaigposs Punisher Skull Furry (@cwaigposs) reported

    @MinhazHx @BlizzardCS I'm sorry bro but lizard squad ain't showing up specifically for the launch of an already widely panned "game" (update) and disrupting ONLY that service, not even any other blizzard games or anything just overwatch. Taking down Xbox live and PSN at least meant something

  • Jupiter_247 Jose L. Perez (@Jupiter_247) reported

    @PlayOverwatch There's an issue on Xbox where you get kicked to the title screen when you earn an achievement. It's very frustrating when you're about to win or in general playing and you get kicked out! #Overwatch #Overwatch2
