Overwatch 2 is expected to bring countless fresh features, new characters, and a match format for players to jump right in, but the game’s servers will also be the most unstable at the time of launch.

Like other widely played online multiplayer games, Overwatch 2’s servers will also be hit by issues occasionally. While server outages might not be very frequent, but sometimes when devs roll out a new update or there is a bug that is causing connection issues. 

This usually happens near and after launch, as several players will be trying to access the game at the same time. That said, it might not be easy to determine when a server will experience outages. Thankfully, players will be able to use this Overwatch 2 server tracker to know if there is some problem hampering the game.

How to check Overwatch 2 server status?

While Overwatch 2 is already up for players across the globe to try, players are coming across issues playing the game. Due to multiple DDoS attacks, as noted by a key Blizzard staff, players are unable to move forward from the main menu as they try to get in the game.

“We’re steadily making progress on server issues and stability,” game director Aaron Keller said after Overwatch 2 went live. “We’re all hands on deck and will continue to work throughout the night.” As of now, there’s no word on when players can expect Overwatch 2’s servers to perform at their optimum level.
