Overwatch 2 server problems persist. The free Overwatch 2, which was released with the official closure of the Overwatch servers 2 days ago, received a reaction from players who had difficulty trying to enter the game. Blizzard president Mike Ybarra stated that Overwatch 2 servers were attacked by Ddos . Overwatch community manager “Jodie” posted a detailed description of the game’s woes on the Blizzard forums and apologized.
Blizzard apologizes to players for Overwatch 2 server issues
Jodie said they didn’t expect the game to come out so troubled:
“First of all, we apologize to our players. We were planning to have Overwatch 2 as your question. We have set the bar high and we are working to address the problems you are experiencing.”
Overwatch 2 also came with a phone number requirement that made it harder for players to enter the game. Blizzard has stated that starting tomorrow, players with Battle.net accounts will not be asked for this phone number.
Blizzard has also focused on server issues that prevent countless players from entering the game and has updated its login servers. Finally, it was stated that the accounts that switched from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 had problems and that the items were deleted. Blizzard confirmed that the transition to Overwatch 2 may take a while, updated the interface to encourage players and stated that the items were not deleted because they had the player data in their possession.
