Are Overwatch 2 servers down right now?

Although Overwatch 2 servers seem to be up and running currently, there may be occasional issues due to continuous maintenance. It's worthwhile to check Blizzard's official Overwatch forums or @BlizzardCS on Twitter for real-time updates if you're having problems outside of the planned outage.

How to check Overwatch 2 server status

The following methods can help you determine whether the problem is with Blizzard or yourself:

• Official Blizzard Support – BlizzardCS Twitter and Blizzard’s Overwatch forums provide live updates.
• Server status websites – Use Downdetector or Down for Everyone or Just Me to see if other players are reporting issues.
• Restart your game and connection – If the servers seem fine but you’re still having trouble, try restarting your router, game client, or even switching networks to see if that resolves the issue.

If Overwatch 2 servers are down due to maintenance, you’ll just have to wait it out. But if there’s no official word from Blizzard and you’re still unable to connect, consider:

• Restarting your game and device.
• Opening Battle.net (PC) or the game library on your console to manually check for updates to make sure you're on the most recent version. Before starting the game again, download and install any available updates.
• Running a connection test to ensure your internet isn’t the problem.
• Reaching out to Blizzard Support if issues persist.

Try restarting your game, examining your internet connection, or checking for updates if issues persist after maintenance is finished.
