The long-awaited launch of Overwatch 2 is finally here. And with Overwatch servers being shutdown, countless players flocked to Blizzard’s anticipated FPS sequel. Unfortunately, the popularity of the launch has also caused a large number of errors to pop up in the game. One of these errors is the Overwatch 2 Failed to connect to the game server login error.
How to fix the Failed to connect to game server – Login Error in Overwatch 2
If you are encountering the Overwatch 2 failed to connect to game server error here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. First, check your internet connection and restart it if needed. If your internet is working properly, close and restart Overwatch 2. In case the error still persists try uninstalling and re-installing Overwatch 2 from your computer.
If this does not fix your issues check Blizzard’s official communication channels to see if there are any known issues or current maintenance. These include the Overwatch Twitter page and Blizzard’s Support page.
The error is usually caused by server-side issues. This could be too many players trying to connect at once, or ongoing server maintenance. Avoiding peak times will help you avoid server overflow, but with maintenance, all you can do is wait.
With Blizzard already mentioning a DDOS attack on the game servers, it is clear that launch-day issues will continue to crop up. And even when you are able to connect, long queue times are expected due to the large number of people trying to play the game on launch.
