Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PanParzivali Parzival (@PanParzivali) reported

    @magmadust1 Yeah. But it's a mystery on whether Microsoft will actually fix any of the industrial issues- if they do, count me in on playing overwatch again

  • Rixsch RADIANT DAWN (@Rixsch) reported

    @AustonMarner2 @nytimes I haven’t played an Activision/Blizzard game in years. Let them have Crash, Spyro & COD. My friends will probably be salty that Overwatch 2 will be XSX exclusive but oh well lol

  • NatanCPB Natan Pucci (@NatanCPB) reported

    @Federal08984414 @aviagemdocaique @canaltech Call Of Duty, Crash, WOW, Overwatch, Diablo etc

  • InsertClownJoke Winter Clown (@InsertClownJoke) reported

    Very much a first world problem but like I think about how much I used to ******* love Overwatch and how it kind of helped me through some ****, and then I see all of this ******* **** happening with Blizzard and can't touch the game anymore and just-- I just kind of want to cry

  • UG_Knightmare_V UG Knightmare V (@UG_Knightmare_V) reported

    @TGBGGaming The shooter titles like cod and overwatch won’t be exclusive but I do hope they fix activision up after all the stuff that’s been going on over there. It’s a good Chance for them to start up again and hopefully they take their time making their ips now.

  • saintthecoder Saint (@saintthecoder) reported

    ok @Xbox now that you own @ATVI_AB please get the guy jeff kaplan back for overwatch 2 he about to fix that whole franchise….

  • MadMewl Mewly (@MadMewl) reported

    @Ferzsc0 @Visca_RP @notcrypticno I agree. Spiderman is SSS tier. But Halo is SS tier. Spyro and Crash were literally Sony's building blocks. Overwatch is trash but it has potential to retake top tier with actually good devs. Spiderman isn't enough to keep sony on top, cuz it's one ip, and Microsoft has 45.

  • MrMandolino Mando (not Star Wars) (@MrMandolino) reported

    @justeffinmatt it's not about currently profitable IPs, it's about access to a ridiculously large catalog of beloved and/or nostalgic names right now Microsoft owns call of duty halo gears of war warcraft (all games) candy crush overwatch spyro crash bandicoot the elder scrolls doom

  • TheCryptoGen thecryptogen.eth (@TheCryptoGen) reported

    Microsoft making big moves acquiring Activision Blizzard. If Call of Duty, Overwatch and other Activision games get put on the Microsoft Game Pass, is it safe to say Microsoft win the gaming subscription service battle?

  • SickOfThisShit2 SickOfThisShitGaming (@SickOfThisShit2) reported

    @sameolbusdriver @wilsenal Crash, spyro, wow, and overwatch

  • TheNeoAnthony NeoΛnthony (@TheNeoAnthony) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia Super Crazy, now Nintendo has quite a few Microsoft Properties running on their systems: Minecraft, Diablo, Crash, Spyro, Overwatch, and Skyrim. What's next? XD

  • PodcastNow15 Podcast Now (@PodcastNow15) reported

    I'd honestly imagine franchises like Spyro and Crash will be full on Xbox Exclusives. Maybe multiplayer things like Overwatch 2 and Warzone stay cross platform.

  • louieplays 💖miniño💖 (@louieplays) reported

    Wey Microsoft compro Activision Blizzard. Crash Bandicoot en game pass junto con Overwatch, COD, etc ... SACAN?????

  • Bogues2Rass Dre is the blueprint for a drunker generation (@Bogues2Rass) reported

    @PROBL3Mtv They can, they own them and once these current contracts are over they can renegotiate anyway they want, they now own them (and Crash Bandicoot and Doom and Spyro and Overwatch and Diablo and Skyrim and Call Of Duty and Starcraft and...you get the picture)

  • shatcap beppa | BLM (@shatcap) reported

    @charlieINTEL fix overwatch

  • SSaberTI Winged (@SSaberTI) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB Please make Overwatch into a good game again and release Overwatch 2. I trust you Microsoft. Fix Blizzard somehow.

  • kirksniper kirk (@kirksniper) reported

    @prayforsacred PLEASE FIX OVERWATCH

  • _GothBaby GothBaby (@_GothBaby) reported

    @nemebliss @Stylosa It's possible games like call of duty, overwatch 2, Diablo 4, and crash bandicoot will be pc/Xbox exclusives now. I can't see them making cod or OW an exclusive though but we will see

  • sad_rdwini Rdwan (@sad_rdwini) reported

    i hope they fix the call of duty franchise being mid, stop doing yearly releases, fire bobby kottick and fix everything in activision blizzard. also cancel overwatch 2 lol

  • jacob41431432 jacob (@jacob41431432) reported

    @charlieINTEL i’m not interested is overwatch in the slightest but i wonder if they’ll plan to make the second one, or just fix the first one. cause that game was so fun in it’s prime

  • m0nkieflip Daniel (@m0nkieflip) reported

    @charlieINTEL Maybe they can fix cod and overwatch???

  • 6amerBr0 Matt | 6amerBr0 🎮 CEO of Palutena #RIPRuby  (@6amerBr0) reported

    @OfficialAzyria It’s still kinda cool to think about though. Microsoft has so much! Minecraft, Crash, Call of Duty, Candy Crush, Overwatch, etc.

  • TragicOnDemand Tragic (Joey) (@TragicOnDemand) reported

    Think about it, cod, overwatch 2, spyro, crash, all of that on @XboxGamePass.

  • SylviaRuriri ☁ ˗ˏˋ Sylviarill ˎˊ˗ ☁ (@SylviaRuriri) reported

    @ItzKale03 @its_eniebomedov @Xbox If it means I'll need a Game Pass to play Overwatch 2, I'll buy it, just like I bought Ps4 to play Crash back when it was a timed exclusive. 👍

  • swshriv swshriv 🇵🇦 | Mysterio (@swshriv) reported

    @PlayStation Franchises that have been acquired by Xbox in under 2 years: DOOM Dishonored Wolfensien The Elder Scrolls Fallout Starfield The Evil Within Prey Overwatch Crash Bandicoot Spyro The Dragon Call Of Duty Diablo World Of Warcraft Star Craft Candy Crush Your time is up Playstation

  • jacobed25 jacob (@jacobed25) reported

    @behzad_abd @BenjiSales Overwatch 2, Cod, they own crash bandicoot and Spyro

  • The_Biribiri ⚡Mikoto Misaka⚡(Arya) 🇨🇦 (@The_Biribiri) reported

    Microsoft just bought Activision?! Xbox owns CoD, Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Spyro, Warcraft... Damn. Xbox is gonna dominate. XD Holy ****.

  • JoesBeets BanderSN (@JoesBeets) reported

    @Canadianguyehh I don't think theyre thinking about crash and spyro. If anything this is about cod and overwatch.

  • HalcyonsXcution Halcy (@HalcyonsXcution) reported

    @THEREALRTU And yet minecraft, bethesda/id games and others are on nintendo and sony platforms. besides wow, cod, crash, overwatch and diablo activision let there other ips die. But ya total monopoly there

  • kriticalvodka Neville Lahiru (@kriticalvodka) reported

    @TChanaH The top guy needs to go for sure. Keeping him will only **** things up. Then there are issues around game bugs, cheating, all those headaches that come with titles like Overwatch and CoD. Wonder what will happen to Overwatch 2 and upcoming titles now. If that's not all, antitrust
