    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hi. I bought the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack yesterday on PS5. For the last 24 hours I’ve been unable to login. I just get the red “Login Error - Failed to connect to game server” message upon every attempt. Any help or suggestions, please? Thanks.

  • doct0rgrim doctorgrim (@doct0rgrim) reported

    Hate to do this after doing a poll, but I need to cancel today's stream due to some family issues. The poll won for overwatch 2 beta so Friday at 6PMCT we will be playing Overwatch 2 on stream.

  • bajablastofus steve harrington lockdown (@bajablastofus) reported

    so cool so cute so fun that the overwatch 2 beta is broken on ps5 and i paid $40 just for error codes to pop up every time i try to enter a game

  • BippyWilly Peepo ***** (@BippyWilly) reported

    I am having actually horrific latency issues with the Overwatch 2 beta, with shifts of about 40 ping ever few seconds or so, it’s so frustrating

  • bolterity Bolterity (@bolterity) reported

    @PlayOverwatch FIXED PS5 LOGIN ERROR! basically the PS5 version of the beta should not exist! get on your phone & download the PS app, then search up overwatch and you will have two versions of the beta available, you wanna download the PS4 version and that should just work and launch!

  • TukimiceTK Tukimice (@TukimiceTK) reported

    @Xiao4thewin Mixed feelings. For a final opinion, I'd have to play in servers without the lagging issues and with people with similar MMR. But overall it isn't THAT bad, but now it feels a little more like Paladins and less like Overwatch.

    If you’re on ps5 and can’t get rid of the login error code go to the ps app and download the ps4 version of the beta to your console so u can play #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • brianedunn brian (@brianedunn) reported

    @BlizzardCS Having issues on Xbox Series X with the Overwatch 2 beta shutting my console off when loading into a map. Other users on Reddit are reporting the same issue. Please assist

  • wille63070132 wille (@wille63070132) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have a question. I bought the overwatch watchpoint pack to get the beta, but i cant log in. I have tried both ps5 and ps4 edition but it only says an error has occurred and then kick me of the game. What can i do to fix it or otherwise i must refund it.

  • BrackenBuddha Brakkun (@BrackenBuddha) reported

    @shad_crimson @OwPoppy2 Paladins is genuinely more fun to play than Overwatch 1. However I think that is just because balance in that game went out the window and everyone in it is broken.

  • alyeshaplays ur lil strawberry (@alyeshaplays) reported

    if you don’t know already, overwatch 2 beta issues connecting to serve in ps5 is fixed by downloading the ps4 version!! 🤍 #overwatch #Overwatch2 #overwatch2beta

  • avoblackfyre Ozz (@avoblackfyre) reported

    @ZenkaiRanger @ResiBenny @PlayStation They specifically stated some game will be exclusive period while games with big communities ( call of duty, overwatch) will remain mutiplat. They didn’t say anything about small franchises. I doubt we will even see another future crash game on PlayStation after the deal closes

    Welp, @EpicGames Launcher keeps returning a "socket" error, so no #DeadByDaylight! :( Instead, we're pivoting to #Overwatch!

  • Ferry1977 Ferry Thelosen (@Ferry1977) reported

    Decent game; Overwatch 2 al lot of fun. But man, does it have balance issues. Junker Queen and Orisa can easily 1v5, they cant be killed. Hanzo’s hits on the body doesn’t do significant dmg #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch

  • K1llerV Brooke/Venom 🐍💫❤️ (@K1llerV) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @PlayOverwatch you said everything would carry over to Overwatch 2, I don't know whether it's a glitch on your end but I'm missing a mercy skin and a victory pose I know this may be a glitch due to the game being in beta but what happens if I still don't have this skin by Oct 4th

  • GameLoafey LoafeyGame (@GameLoafey) reported

    @AskPlayStation No. It states "You already own the following products, which conflict with the product you're trying to buy. Overwatch® multi-item entitlment Overwatch® multi-item entitlment" It says it 2 times so I am wondering if that's the problem?

  • legsrjust4show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXlzWhBvYwg (@legsrjust4show) reported

    @Sigilynk and one of the leads on Crash 4 even wanted to do a remake of some ancient N64 game I loved as a kid and they buried the studio into the Call of Duty/Overwatch graveyard and I'm still mad I'm still mad I'm still mad

  • agentofxana Super Good Advice™ (GET YA VACCINE) (@agentofxana) reported

  • Romari2T Romi (@Romari2T) reported

    @AskPlayStation do you guys have an estimated time on when the overwatch 2 beta tracker problem will be fixed I still own overwatch watch point but I’m still getting the tracker prompt I’ve talked to support and they said y’all have a tech specialist working on it

  • mysticzblue Trainer MysticZblue (@mysticzblue) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent it's a really bad idea to cancel overwatch 1 play service. I hope you all receive backlash from fans who prefer the original sounds, animation, 6v6 format and more. It's not fair. All for a modern free game service premium pass money making scheme.

  • JakeSmithson20 Jake Smithson (@JakeSmithson20) reported

    @PlayOverwatch is anyone having the issue that a game of overwatch is starting then it just doesn't put you into the game
