Over 24 hours later, Overwatch 2 is still unstable after back-to-back DDoS attacks

More than a full day after Overwatch 2’s worldwide launch, players are still struggling to get into the game and stay connected thanks to unstable servers.

Soon after the game launched yesterday at 2pm CT, Blizzard Entertainment’s servers were hit with a DDoS attack. Players were already receiving error messages and disconnections before the attack thanks to the massive volume of users attempting to log in and play at the same time. After the DDoS began, logins slowed to a crawl, with players reporting endless queues and frequent disconnects. Blizzard president Mike Ybarra assured players that the team was working hard to minimize the attack.
