Are Overwatch 2 servers down?

Many Overwatch 2 players will try log in to take part in the new content that came with Season 11, but that sometimes means that the servers will struggle to accommodate all the players logging in.

This is usually an issue at the beginning of a season or event, but sometimes the servers can also have some problems mid-season.

Server status

Overwatch 2’s servers are live as of June 26, 2024. However, some players have reported issues with being randomly disconnected from games.

You can try to flush your DNS to resolve these issues, and make sure you don’t have any background applications running that may interfere with your ability to connect to Overwatch 2. Otherwise, you can log a ticket with Blizzard Support to see if it’s a larger issue with the game itself.

How to check server status

If you’re experiencing any issues with Overwatch 2’s servers, be sure to check the official Overwatch 2 X account for any updates regarding connection issues or servers.

You can also check out Blizzard’s support page, where the developers drop all their updates, or the Overwatch Down Detector which usually has full updates on all reports players have made about servers in the last 24 hours.

While the servers are still up and running, it’s a good idea to make sure your PC and controller settings are sorted before you head into Competitive or Quick Play. You can also have a look at the latest menu backgrounds to use for customizing your game.
