Overwatch 2 servers will be down for several hours tonight

Overwatch fans have been (virtually) lining up in droves since Overwatch 2’s launch on Oct. 4. For the past 48 hours, though, the game’s servers have been struggling amid DDoS attacks and issues with authentication. Unfortunately, the only real fix appears to be taking the servers offline to apply updates that will hopefully repair some of the issues.

The developers announced that Overwatch 2’s servers will be taken down today, Oct. 6, for one hour at 5pm CT (or 3pm PT) to put out “a fix to address some bugs related to account merge, login, and the First Time User Experience,” according to a forum post.
