If you're stuck in the Overwatch 2 queue, you're not alone

pcgamer.com:

Overwatch 2 servers started going online a little earlier than the expected 12 pm PDT launch time(opens in new tab), but if you're having trouble logging in, you're not alone.

If you pre-loaded Overwatch 2 and downloaded a small update today, you can hit the play button and try to get in. I've watched livestreamers on Twitch successfully reach the menus and queue for Quick Play, but there's quite a few who haven't, including me.

There's thousands of people in queue—I've seen the number climb to 40,000 (yes, really)—and the login page is spitting out messages like «unexpected error» that sends you to the back of the line or «lost connection to game server.»

There isn't currently a fix for this error. The Blizzard customer support Twitter(opens in new tab) account hasn't mentioned it yet either. This seems likely a result of the servers going live early and having trouble with how many people are trying to get in. All you can do right now it keep trying to get in or wait patiently for the proper launch time.

We'll update this story as this issue persists.
