  • GarzillaGames Christopher Garza (@GarzillaGames) reported

    Hey, @Blizzard_Ent, I know things are rough with the launch of #Overwatch2 , but can we at least play Overwatch 1 if we own it until you get these errors figured out? 🥺

  • arthurlepa 👻 Red 🎃 (@arthurlepa) reported

    I see its another messy #Overwatch launch for @ATVI_AB maybe one day they will launch a game with no problems 🙄

  • 961Didaka Didaka_961 (@961Didaka) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This is just a quick request for after you fix everything with the servers. Could you please make it people on PS4 and PS5 be able to play with keyboard and mouse? Like how we were able to play with a controller in Overwatch 1. Sending it again until someone from staff responds.

  • lSyZyGyl syzygy (@lSyZyGyl) reported

    Largely, my problems with Overwatch fall down to, horrible monetization (wrapped into ****** cosmetics), qol changes, and the 5v5 change.

    Day 3: overwatch not working

  • A__Merc StayHydrated (@A__Merc) reported

    It’s day 3 of hour long queues for overwatch 2… are we still buying the “DDoS” line or are we willing to admit blizzard just sucks with this stuff

  • LuckyZVT LuckyZVT 🎮 Fox Vtuber (@LuckyZVT) reported

    I love all the **** for overwatch 2 after 2 DDoS's and overwatch 1 ALSO having queue times only being held back for those queue times because it costed money and now it's free

  • BamRossyBam Ross (@BamRossyBam) reported

    For all those of you with the Overwatch 2 LC-208 pain... I have unlinked and relinked and it does not solve anything. @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Come on, fix this!!!!! </3

  • Hyrule_AMV Hyrule_ (@Hyrule_AMV) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch @YourOverwatchYT can any of you guys help me with logging into Overwatch 2 servers? I haven’t gotten the chance to even login at all and it’s starting to get frustrating. I’m on PlayStation and had the game since 2016. Thanks.

  • MastaShzl Dominic (@MastaShzl) reported

    @zUnHoLySkittle @TheActMan_YT @SennySupreme That free supported content ran out after 2.5 years in Overwatch 1's case. Playerbase complaining about a content drought in a game that wasn't making money. No one buying Loot Boxes. Everyone has 80+% of the in-game items. $40 1-time purchase can't sustain a Live Service Game.

  • LilliaFootsies cheys discord kitten (@LilliaFootsies) reported

    I’ve spent almost three days consistently trying to get into Overwatch 2 and I still get error codes, I just wanna play the new girl man ****

  • lose_ryan Ryanlose.eth ☕ (@lose_ryan) reported

    What is going on with #overwatch2 ? I have to wait on a queue just to get into the home screen? This has been 2 years in development how are we having issues?? @eyesofthedon @InsideTScreen do you know what's going on? Can we get overwatch 1 back?

  • DaParrotMasta drunkenwalrus (@DaParrotMasta) reported

    @AltHistoryHub @CRISPY_WRITES What I don’t understand is that overwatch 2 is just one big glorified update. A generational one. So wtf do they have so many problems running a game that’s been out since 2016

  • alexandrog02 Alex (@alexandrog02) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hello, I purchased the Overwatch 2: Watchpoint pack during the summer but it doesn’t reflect in Overwatch 2. Is this an ongoing issue that is currently being resolved?

  • UmanaFNBR ЯVS Umana   🇺🇦 (@UmanaFNBR) reported

    Yea there's no shot I would be able to play overwatch i managed to login to my very old account that i haven't used in maybe years but unfortunately i play Xbox and i can't link a new account until 365 days which is a year meaning i will need to wait a year to play overwatch 💀

  • Yokai_Ray Yokai (@Yokai_Ray) reported

    update it has almost been 48 hours and the servers are STILL having issues on Overwatch 2 A bummer cause I really been enjoying it. I don't want it to fall off before it even starts :/

  • SquidLord_XD Ray, The Lord of the Squids (@SquidLord_XD) reported

    *Plays a few games of Overwatch 2 and gets up for not even a minute and sits back down* BAM I am in a queue with 400 players ahead of me. WTF I left the game running by itself for a minute and I am having to wait again. @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Fix your cash grab game!

  • KevinRu78640066 Kevin Russell (@KevinRu78640066) reported

    @megnogm Not really see I’ve never had much interest in Blizzard not until overwatch 1 but that was like 2016 2017 good times for sure and now with overwatch 2 not working on release day this game is looking more and more just like cyberpunk on release a broken game sad. Well other games

  • litskicosplay Skyy (@litskicosplay) reported
