Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Tjorwhatevaa Ur dads fav (@Tjorwhatevaa) reported

    Idk if i’m just dumb but i can’t get my vc in overwatch to work, it’ll say i’m in the group voice chat but i can’t hear anyone and they can’t hear me and it’ll just randomly fix itself and break again idk what to do

  • PandarenIRL Tyler (@PandarenIRL) reported

    @melloneen @sf_like_barn @mL7support overwatch doesn't cater to the bottom 5% so why should it cater to the top 2.5%? 3/4 of players are silver-plat; why should they get a broken game because "they just don't understand how it works"?

  • TurnBasedCarl Turn Based Carl (@TurnBasedCarl) reported

    @Icepickdanza @XcloudTimdog Yeah Overwatch too. They need to be consistent & they can do that while still having the service games & contracted games on PS. Diablo 4 & Overwatch 2 can be looked as already locked up for platforms. I would make everything beyond that console exclusive.

  • natsuxerza22 timekiryu (@natsuxerza22) reported

    @PerongeIuk you want to fire the leadership of the overwatch team when all the developers working there have said that teams have no problems of this style or the new director of blizzard who also wanted his female co director to be paid the same but got rejected, yeah fire innocent people

  • GameGirlAviance Avia (@GameGirlAviance) reported

    @POTUS Maybe tell Blizzard to release Overwatch 2. Problem Solved Joey!

  • QuakeNBake7 The Great Exposer (@QuakeNBake7) reported

    @mk_aln9 @mr_evaporation They won't be on Playstation, most Activision Blizzard games won't be, only COD and maybe Overwatch sadly Crash and Spyro will never be on Playstation again

  • KarakatoDzo Karakato🥕 (@KarakatoDzo) reported

    @AWDtwit @NintendoAmerica Like I get big games like Overwatch not fitting into a cart but this has no excuse lol. Why go through the trouble of adding these extra trinkets in a special physical product if the main event isnt physical? It's just like an Amico game box at this point

  • AoNoHasuArt αĸαrι ~ (@AoNoHasuArt) reported

    I just understood what happened with the Overwatch problem and the fanart. If you don't like something, then don't see/share it. But let the artists draw whatever they want. There may be age gap, but they are both +18 so it IS LEGAL. If you don't like it, don't look. 🙄

  • sinrotoGT sinroto (@sinrotoGT) reported

    @swagkorii bruh the problem is that u played overwatch

  • Salokinquagsire Salokin 🐉 🏳️‍🌈 (@Salokinquagsire) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is anybody else having an issue seeing the experimental card when they open up Overwatch? Made sure the game was updated and did a scan and repair but no dice.

  • humadawha humadawha (@humadawha) reported

    now i am banned for an hour because of this issue. ;( #overwatch

  • Rabaroni_ Rab (@Rabaroni_) reported

    @Halo There was an update that Blizzard did to OW mm system that virtually made gameplay seamless. I never had an issue in any of my game on overwatch and the tick rate felt responsive and competitive.

  • CraigHarris456 Same people as always...dropping the facts! (@CraigHarris456) reported

    @Hh17176630 @XcloudTimdog Again MOST of the games will be multi-plat. FTC flexed HARD on MS, so Overwatch, WOW, COD will still be on PS. Crash and Spyro could go to Nintendo and PlayStation. If PS buys a publisher like Capcom then no the games will stay multi-play.

  • joycemarcoss joycemarcos (@joycemarcoss) reported

    @LemonKiwi_ Hmu if you want to fix overwatch. No joke lol

  • CoIeCassidy ******* genji (@CoIeCassidy) reported

    overwatch is broken experimental disappeared can't queue into a game

  • Slevana5 Slevanas ♠️💜 (@Slevana5) reported

    @MilesDompier I actually would prefer CoD to be multiplat, but keep Overwatch, Diablo, WoW, Starcraft, Spyro, and Crash.

  • Swat715230 Jenkins230 (@Swat715230) reported

    this Activision Xbox deal is insane. think we need to wait on more concrete news official statements before we judge. do believe COD Overwatch to be multiplat but i think we need to keep the rest exclusive to gamepass. to be clear exclusive on the service not the Xbox pony #Xbox

  • selnor1983 Richard Loveridge (@selnor1983) reported

    @XcloudTimdog I don't think your right here. MS said existing 'popular' games. COD, Overwatch, Diablo. All over 40 million players. Crash, Spyro, GH are lucky to make 10 million. They aren't considered popular. SP ganes will be exclusive. Its Massive MP games that are cash cows that won't be.

  • MatchaTwitch Matchalove (@MatchaTwitch) reported

    They broke overwatch. I mean it's already really broken but like, now it's like when you drop Pyrex on the ground.

  • mfury24 mikel patterson (@mfury24) reported

    @xMBGx @Innthacut Yes bet it'll be crash bandicoot spyro guitar hero Tony hawk diablo overwatch StarCraft warcraft candy crush the money makes the microtransactions but I don't think there new IP or reboots will be mulitplatform.

  • EvningRain EvnRʌin (@EvningRain) reported

    @TempestGales @V1V4RT1 yeah as with anything, dont wanna end up like overwatch lmao though i hope that social media manager guy didnt get in trouble or anything, but then again what were they thinking..

  • BoydNanookm Gamer Dad (@BoydNanookm) reported

    @Eric7227 @DestinLegarie Not that many if you look at recent output. They put a lot into CoD. What else has Acti done? Crash & Spyro. Blizz? Diablo & Overwatch. Will MS revive Skylanders & Guitar Hero? ABK stopped for a reason. Older Blizz PC ports? Meh not for $70b. CoD is the majority of that cost.

  • LewisMc70208336 le portal gun (@LewisMc70208336) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent can you please fix your comp mechanics in overwatch? I have been kicked out of multiple comp matches that aren't even my fault with no way to rejoin, resulting in me getting high time bans maybe make it so you can only get a high time ban if you click leave game?

  • BlossomBixch Blossom (@BlossomBixch) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your game sis.. i loaded for comp and it took forever to load into the game and i closed overwatch. keep in mind i haven't even joined the game yet and lost sr and got suspended?

  • humadawha humadawha (@humadawha) reported

    is anyone else getting an applying update / error applying update unknown error (hf-5) on overwatch? i'm getting time banned and losing rank because of it. ;( @PlayOverwatch #overwatch

  • QuakeNBake7 The Great Exposer (@QuakeNBake7) reported

    @KiritoAndDream @a_bag_of_takis @KimJoshUn2 They won't be....Crash and Spyro aren't in the same stratosphere as COD and Overwatch Also MS did not say they'd release new games either. The wording is very misleading Crash and Spyro will never be on Playstation ever again

  • QuakeNBake7 The Great Exposer (@QuakeNBake7) reported

    @mr_evaporation Nope, sorry only COD and Overwatch Crash will never be on Playstation, good riddance.

  • CHEPY54 CHEPY (@CHEPY54) reported

    Friendly reminder that the overwatch team still didn't fix the voice chat when someone talks loud.

  • Lostghostcat Ghost (@Lostghostcat) reported

    I gotta learn nothing will ever fix my relationship with overwatch or blizzard in general. #Overwatch

  • dawn_berlitz21 Nathaniel Greene (@dawn_berlitz21) reported

    @Windows @Microsoft after windows update basically tanked my FPS when I was trying to play overwatch I’m thinking of having to use group policy editor to forcibly disable windows update and the medic service so it can’t run anymore
