Blizzard has banned 800K Overwatch 2 cheaters since launch—and smurfs are next

Overwatch 2 has had over 800,000 accounts banned for cheating since it launched, Blizzard announced today, but the ongoing battle means that number will only climb.

Blizzard outlined its never-ending fight against hackers and cheaters in a new Defense Matrix blog post, also detailing that it’s already blocked some new hacks in 2025, and will continue to “develop tech that can effectively block hacks from working properly and making them easier to detect.”
