Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jstepp (@jstepp5220) reported@_foulDOOM Same issue I had with overwatch. This game needs communication and people only talk when you are having your worst game in a month lololol
-
Paperboy (@Reniru1337) reported@Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters
-
Grimm (@Grimmr_) reportedwow for once overwatch wasnt a complete fustercluck crazy, thanks to everyone who hung out today and @nexus__VT for the raid! gonna try to stream more potentially tomorrow who knows sent the party over to @MrSocomDude playing the new RTS Broken Arrow
-
osf (@oh_ess_eff) reported@JJETSFAN u gotta use the operator bro thats a lot like overwatch stuff from what ive heard and its lowkey broken
-
Kevin, Local Machu Appreciator (@CCharmanderK) reported@OWAnonymous_ If you think the leaver issue in Overwatch is bad, go play Halo Infinite sometime. It's ten times worse over there.
-
Small Shrimp 🔞 🏳️⚧️ (@SteamingShrimp) reported@bewitcheddarlin Honestly, I reached diamond 3 without really a lot of issues, but people ego is inflated as hell, it's Overwatch all over again 😭
-
Trifinity (@HoldFininity) reported@MulticamOw overwatch had this same problem.
-
Leon (@bobafettyaoi) reported@rodiprimes yeah I figured 😭😭 tho what’s funny is that I’ve had no problem adjusting to paladins on pc from getting used to the controls with overwatch
-
kholby 🇵🇸 (@SAINTFIREN0X) reporteddid the overwatch servers just crash for a second…
-
𝙆𝙀𝙑𝘉𝘖𝘈𝘙𝘋 (@kvbrd_YT) reported@EmperorKermit @evolved117 most characters in Overwatch don't have sprint,just like most of them don't have any clamber-like abilities and it's irrelevant if it's part of the core or not,the real issue with it is that it has no actual purpose other than to copy what others are doing sprinting doesn't add
-
Ray🌸 (@rayyvioli) reported@dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset
-
Buddy (@Buddy_duddy_) reported@Greenpig117 >overwatch players came over Bro we were there day 1😭😭😭 And ow players knew where problems might appear and were right. I want rivals to succeed long term but holy ****, not with this attitude
-
9 9 9 (@TheFoundingDrlp) reported@_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol
-
SOFTIE ₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ﾟ. 🩷🌸 (@SoftieF2P) reportedI am so grateful to of been seen by Overwatch again. However I am completely heart broken I cannot receive the copy. 🥹💔

Gunter (@Gunter_Gman) reportedHow greatness is inevitable: video games. Why? I became top % in many games: 0.5% of 20 million active players in Valorant 15% in league 10% Rainbow 6 siege 10% in Halo infinite 35% on Overwatch in 6 hours. 25% on Fortnite in 12 hours. Another time I won roughly 20-25 games in a row on Valorant via pure **********. I WENT FROM GOLD 2 TO A3 IN 2 WEEKS WHILST LAGGING 100-1000Ms PEAKS. I know how to be great. I know how to conquer. I take what’s mine ruthlessly.
-
Castlehair (@Castlehairs) reported@yoshi12370 All those are big reasons why I stepped away from the game. The whole 2 year wait into overwatch 2 which was met with many many broken promises made me just not want to ever really play the game anymore. So sad because there was so much potential and I feel it will never be met
-
ℛ𝒾𝓋ℯ𝓇🩷 (@river_shifts) reporteddid any of y’all’s overwatch just crash? are the servers down? #Overwatch2 #overwatch
-
Grok (@grok) reportedThe green cat character you mentioned seems inspired by Jetpack Cat, a canceled Overwatch hero concept. In Overwatch terms, Jetpack Cat was a whimsical idea for a cat in a jetpack, controlling it with its paws. It was scrapped for being too silly and for gameplay issues, like paws blocking the first-person view. While fans love the idea and push for its inclusion in Overwatch 2, developers have confirmed the next support hero isn’t Jetpack Cat. It might appear as a cosmetic item, like a skin or companion, but there’s no evidence it’s a playable hero. The game’s tone leans toward serious heroes, making its inclusion unlikely.

CyberQueenAlice (@CyberQueenAlice) reportedCyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake
-
Alan (@Sidtehfallen89) reported@BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.
-
minecraftgf (@fakeminecraftgf) reportedanyone have suggestions for a “rendering not found” issue when i try to play overwatch?! tried updating my drivers *and* reverting to a previous update, scan and repair in battlenet, optimizing game in nvidia app… ;-; i jus wanna instalock mercy in qp at 1am pleaseeeeee
-
vene₶iaπ ～｡☆꒰ 🐑🍷 (@liespiach) reporteda lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.
-
bleh (@GiniaAlexx) reportedOverwatch can you fix your damn game why am I crashing every time I go to Anubis and why am I suspended from having to restart my game?? I wasn’t in a match BECAUSE THE GAME CRASHED
-
D (@PrinMasterGen) reported@ukrisreng1582 @mmmmmmmmiller Broken can't spend four or five dollars. On a couple of things. He would rather spend $25 on a skin in OverWatch. Then get three skins for for like four or five bucks. You can't make this **** up
-
Anarchy🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 (@EleutheriaFPS) reportedHonestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.
-
JavierBueno (@JavierBuen93656) reported@astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch
-
Brennan_UGA (@bigdawgfm) reported@ForcadoUALG @PaulTassi @Forbes This is a whataboutism. Marvel Tokon isn't even out yet. If you look at Destiny 2, Warzone and Overwatch, its more than new chars and cosmetics. Its new modes, new levels, seasonal stories/themes, limited time content. Just having DLC is not = live service
-
Sorin (@Sorin_FF) reportedBut i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.
-
charlie ! (@azuralikespatd) reportedhow has overwatch broken then
-
Rad - Alistar puppy (@Radraiki2) reported@yoshi12370 unfortunately all blizzard games have this problem. WoW for example has had its plot destroyed and sabotaged for decades just to make more money and make blizzard earn money. and overwatch unfortunately falls into the same category. and being a moba doesn't help in this sense
