Hello, heroes.
We’ve made progress working through many of the launch issues with Overwatch 2, and we are here to give some insight into what we have addressed, issues that have emerged now that we’ve cleared some of that away, and how we’re moving forward.
We expect to take the servers down at approximately 7pm PDT for an estimated one-hour maintenance to implement further fixes.
The change to phone number requirements is now in effect. ...

Hello AnticK00kie,
Sorry you’re having issues. I took a look at your crashes, and was wondering if you could try something for me. In the “Advanced Text to Speech” options, can you please turn off “Play Sound Between Messages Being Read” and see if that solves your issue?
Thanks so much for posting.

Hey everyone, just in case you missed it. We have a full update in our #announcements in regards to what we are doing to get you all into the game.

Hello, heroes. Yesterday was an exciting day for the Overwatch team—a day that we know you have been looking forward to for a long time. While millions of people have been enjoying the game, the launch has not met your, or our, expectations.

For those still waiting, thank you
Still here folks. Unfortunately no update to share as of yet.
No ETA to currently share. We’ll share more info as we’re able to, and I’ll be here until then.
This isn’t the experience we wanted some folks to have today, and yes, this sucks…and we’re working on it
We’ve also been working on an issue with items missing for some folks.
We’ll be updating the known issues thread for this and other bugs.
Hiya folks,
I’m glad to see many of you posting that you’re making it in.

We wanted to keep you updated on a list of known issues affecting the game. This is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting Overwatch 2, rather this is a targeted list of some known specific issues with this release.
Check out our Overwatch 2 Launch Issues post to stay in the loop on upcoming information regarding server stability, account merge, and other launch concerns.
Hiya folks,
The team is investigating this issue currently. Thanks for the reports and apologies to anyone who may have been worried by this.
We’ve created Overwatch 2 as a new, free to play experience for new and returning players. Pick from our cast of 35 incredible heroes and team up in epic 5v5 action on 22 global maps across 6 distinct modes. Whether you like to lead the charge, ambush enemies, or aid your allies, there’s a hero for you.
As we prepare to welcome new and returning heroes with the launch of Overwatch 2 on October 4th, we have a quick update about forum access post launch.
At launch, access to discussion channels will only be available to players who previously owned Overwatch. Anyone with a valid Overwatch license, including those who bought the Watchpoint pack before October 4th, will continue to be able to access all discussion channels. We will be adding functionality in an upcoming update that will grant forum access to new players based on reaching certain milestones in-game. Anyone with a Battle.net account will continue to have access to the Technical-Support and Bug-Report channels, to report any issues with installing or playing Overwatch 2, in addition to our regular support tickets through the Customer Support Portal.
Thank you and we’ll see you in-game!
The new Overwatch 2 client should use your existing files, so there is no need to uninstall, however, you need at least 50 GB of free space to run Overwatch.
