    @BlizzardCS are overwatch servers down? I can't get past the "Connecting" screen after putting my credentials in, I can't even get my authenticator code asked for

  • KaynEveningStar Kayn Evening Star VT (@KaynEveningStar) reported

  • rachelali_music rachel alice (@rachelali_music) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’m having issues with Overwatch on PS5, it’s lagging and everyone is glitching, making it unplayable. Is there any known issues atm?

  • ExciIed corey (@ExciIed) reported

    any pc friends out there able to help me TLDR after the new overwatch update my game runs insanely choppy, even on the lowest setting, despite never having this issue before. more in depth explanation in the thread

  • Cherry80949533 Ch'rell (@Cherry80949533) reported

    @AlbertBello_13 @Hyper_Falcon @Halo also diablo 3 another game completely broken at release and overwatch had just as big content deserts as infinite.

  • SleekyB0i S-B0rgar (@SleekyB0i) reported

    I shouldn’t have relapsed on overwatch on New Year’s Eve. Paladins looks more and more promising every day… I should’ve stuck with that game, even if it has glaring issues.

  • Jetaimejjsr Jaime T (@Jetaimejjsr) reported

    @BlizzardCS fix that garbage game Overwatch 2 and it’s garbage matchmaking!!! Consistently matched with a bunch of garbage players. This is why @PlayVALORANT is better.

  • SH0UTOU 🎄FESTIVE YAYA 🗡 🐁 (@SH0UTOU) reported

    i wanna enjoy overwatch cause is my fav game but i just wanna play comp but is so *** im seriously about to cry @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch comp match making

  • yungardnr GardiNero (@yungardnr) reported

    @SamitoFPS High elo console Overwatch literally has a problem with people using mouse and keyboard adapters to get gm on dps and support because M&K is objectively SO MUCH better than controller and the difference in what you can do with each is COLOSSAL

  • AveryTheFur 💜 Avery 💜 (@AveryTheFur) reported

    debating getting valorqnt until overwatch fix their ranked MMR system

  • yungardnr GardiNero (@yungardnr) reported

    @SamitoFPS I understand that Apex has a HUGE AA problem. But that's because of poor implementation, not AA as a whole. Controller sticks physically are not capable of doing what you can do with your wrist and a mouse. Games like Halo and Overwatch do fine with aim assist

  • Bluskyyyz Bluskyyyy (@Bluskyyyz) reported

    Overwatch 2 sever connection error lord 🙄 can’t even play

  • appleciderwitch cleric hypebeast (@appleciderwitch) reported

    Replays in Overwatch 2 being /completely/ broken right now and not visible is SO bad

  • NocturneFreya Freya Nocturne ENVtuber 🔞 (@NocturneFreya) reported

    I can't get anything to broadcast so overwatch stream is just gonna have to wait until tomorrow. I'm sorry!! It keeps giving me an error. :(

  • DadjokesGaming DadJokesGaming (@DadjokesGaming) reported

    Dilemma, I'm wanting to game tonight AND stream, but I low key want to play Overwatch, yet I always get freezing issues when I stream OW. Ugh.

  • TigerShen069 Boomshakalaka (@TigerShen069) reported

    @shockle28 @Sloaneyjr @ProjectXbox17 Grounded already has almost 20 million active players, and they are recurring. I've got a PS5 and most in my list aren't even playing those games you mentioned anymore. Great games, but no replay value. Its all Overwatch, CoD, Minecraft, and other service games.

  • brandon_davis87 Davis (@brandon_davis87) reported

    @BlizzardCS is Overwatch 2 having server issues? Haven’t been able to play all day but don’t see anywhere that the servers are down. We keep getting a Disconnected server error or client request disconnect.

  • Bensam123TV Sam Adams (@Bensam123TV) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch I get that you want to expand your servers, the GUE4/DC/Google server absolutely sucks. It reminds me of playing on 20tic in OW1. No regs, projectiles that just go through players, and unresponsive/inconsistent gameplay. Please fix. #overwatch #overwatch2

  • VanguardOW1 Vang (@VanguardOW1) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix the “applying update” to shadowban on Overwatch Glitch? My acc is basically permaed

  • okaych4y chay (@okaych4y) reported

    Overwatch 2 viewership issue can be condensed down to 3 simple points - Game is better played rather than watched - No main content creator/streamer of like other games have (like Ninja for Fortnite) - and it sucks lol

  • elisenaps Elise (@elisenaps) reported

    So after a few months of being excited for Overwatch 2's new characters and more frequent updates, I think I'm bored again. Not just the lack of content - Primary problems are the matchmaker being broken, making comp borderline unplayable, and the constant toxicity

  • JJPogChamp69 JJPogchamp 🐀 (@JJPogChamp69) reported

    Imagine if Overwatch Andy was like Biden "It is completely abhorrent how sojourn and roadhog are completely broken and destroying the meta. We MUST hold those responsible accountable, and work towards change!"

  • CaptainFoof (◉Θ◉) ❗️🏳️‍⚧️ (@CaptainFoof) reported

    @NUKIRUKI Gosh dang I didn’t think that would happen with overwatch, I hope that doesn’t become a big problem like with tf2

  • meeszandstra Mazzie (@meeszandstra) reported

    OVERWATCH NEEDS TO ******* FIX THERE TRASH GAME

  • CValinhart 🥀𝒞𝒶𝓁𝒾𝒸𝑜 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝒾𝓃𝒽𝒶𝓇𝓉🥀 (@CValinhart) reported

    This overwatch lag is annoying af rn since the recent update, ima be big mad if I can’t complete the battle pass this season cause the game is literally unplayable on my end.

  • QueensDetective SPACE COWGIRL SASHA (@QueensDetective) reported

    //I was (genuinely) potentially gonna fall into Overwatch again (I know, dont look at me like that) but lag spikes prevent any game from being decently playable :( I just keep teleporting around

  • HeyImVictor Victor (@HeyImVictor) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix your competitive matchmaking. Why is every game either we get stomped or they get stomped? You either go on a win streak or lose streak, no in between. Makes me lose motivation to keep playing. #Overwatch #Support #Mercy

  • mintyfreshlife The Nanny Named FranXX (@mintyfreshlife) reported

    @the_pocket_punk Your problem might actually be a computer virus. most antivirus software can't detect it, so do a deep scan for "Overwatch.exe" and delete it and it'll solve your problem!

  • Bluskyyyz Bluskyyyy (@Bluskyyyz) reported

    (Overwatch 2) Keep getting kicked from sever,Sever connection error fix this. This been happening since yesterday I can’t even play a comp match my endorsement level dropped because of this @OverwatchCaval @overwatchleague

  • Bluskyyyz Bluskyyyy (@Bluskyyyz) reported

    Overwatch 2 fix your severs #overwatch2
