    HOW TO FIX OVERWATCH GET RID OF BRIG AND MCREE

  • 4JMAN AJ Hammond (@4JMAN) reported

    @Gian_Steele LMAOO even though I hate OW i don’t wanna see the college scene just die. It’s the same issues I had in overwatch like total lack of dev support and awareness that are the core issues Halo is experiencing. Feel like a broken record at this point

  • LateAtNight00 KFED (@LateAtNight00) reported

    @AskPlayStation can y’all please fix this bug with the PlayStation plus. I wanna play overwatch 💀🥲

  • BeesAndMilkTV Bees And Milk (@BeesAndMilkTV) reported

    @BlizzardCS guys I am locked out of my Authenticator and my battle. net account. Your customer service has no way to fix this and I just want to get back into Overwatch.

  • KawsNC Fonz (@KawsNC) reported

    @NORCALsubtL The problem I see is the divide between wanting fighting games to be competitive/esports while also still having a foot in the casual sphere. And no dev wants to full commit to either. Why can overwatch, CS, Moba's, sports games, checkers... thrive for decades but FGs cant?

  • JAHKOOBABA darthNoobious (@JAHKOOBABA) reported

    @PlayStation when i try to play overwatch it says i need ps plus to play when i know it doesnt expire until june or july. Dead by daylight works which need ps plus so that’s another reason. Why is this happening and how do i fix???

  • GhostNappa2k20 Pan of Doom (@GhostNappa2k20) reported

    @krazytuazka @PlayOverwatch @PlayStation Not Overwatch, mate, purely Sony. I cannot sign in to Final Fantasy XIV or play Elden Ring online either.

  • ascended_cake Ascended_Cake (3/3 Slots Open) (@ascended_cake) reported

    @CleopatraMnf @OtherMomo Exactly, no other shooter is as crazy as this game Except Overwatch, but that game's just broken lol

    Does Antonio is harina serious trouble with the game audio???? Xbox player. Some times we Just got totally Deaf. And it Just get fixed when we reset the game. But im ranking! Cant leave the game! Plssss fix this heelp 😩😩 @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent #overwatch

  • ekhuuli 🌙 e͙kho @ ELDEN LORD (@ekhuuli) reported

    I regret installing the PS5 System Update earlier this morning because now Elden Ring keeps giving me a "Could not verify PlayStation Plus Subscription" error. I tried with other games like Overwatch, the same thing. I hope they fix it as soon as possible 🙃

  • kuraido0 Clyde (@kuraido0) reported

    *pute lagging* chii: should we play overwatch? maybe only apex is lagging pute: just play a little to confirm it? haru: ah that's nice...! let's play overwatch then..! chii: why are you the most willing one here?! haru: overwatch!! overwatch!!

  • ThatTorinator Torinator (@ThatTorinator) reported

    Can’t run it, yet I can run Overwatch and GTA5 at max graphics and not experience any lag. I can’t even begin to say how upset I was after the second crash, I got my money back and I’m from now on watching other people play fnaf games

  • ThatSonicDude Kyle (@ThatSonicDude) reported

    @AskPS_UK Hi, I’m currently unable to login into Overwatch as I keep getting an error message on my PS4 saying “you need PlayStation plus". However, I do have PlayStation Plus. I believe this happened after the PS4 system update.

  • ren_Laruku Ren (@ren_Laruku) reported

  • ewok_online ALWAYS BE CHOOGLIN’ (@ewok_online) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch login broken. y’all are aware, right? just checking.

  • KeanaShafer ChiefShafer (@KeanaShafer) reported

    @Tensa_The_Sage I mean Paladins is 5v5 and doesn't have a problem. So overwatch being 5v5 will be weird in the beginning but fine after awhile ✨ just give it a chance✨

  • charlielindh0lm charlie (@charlielindh0lm) reported

    @spleigh @pushsquare What’s happening with yours? I can login to Apex and other online games but Overwatch keeps bringing up ps5 error message saying “you need playstation plus to access this feature.”

  • FortressTTV Olive✨ (@FortressTTV) reported

    I'm in actual awe at how **** my games are. I'm ******* baffled. I don't get it man. I just want to do well and actually win. I can't man holy ****. It's Overwatch all over again. I get so close to my goal and then ******* lose over and over until my mental is broken

  • lornisqt lorna❤︎ (@lornisqt) reported

  • JellyDonuts27 Erika Cotto (@JellyDonuts27) reported

    @PlayStationUK After this update I’m having issues trying to play certain online games. I tried booting up Overwatch and it said I need psplus to play even though my membership doesn’t expire until June

  • cyberIifedva sami ♡ anti souli (@cyberIifedva) reported

    @CATBOYGlYU LITERALLY ALL I DO IS PLAY OVERWATCH AND GET **** TALKED may have been the past but my anger issues won’t allow me to forget the past…..

  • Anxsaa3 Anxsaa (@Anxsaa3) reported

    Love when I actually want to go play and enjoy overwatch, and people have found new ways to crash game clients. Mute match chat guys, that fixed it for my team last game, no clue what's happening or to find how who did it
