Blizzard has confirmed Overwatch 2 has been targeted by at least two DDoS attacks, and is continuing to work on restoring the game.
Overwatch 2 launched globally yesterday and replaces the original hero-based arena shooter, which went offline on Monday. Among other changes and additions, Overwatch 2 shifts the game to a free-to-play model.
However, players reported a variety of server errors and expressed frustration at being unable to join Overwatch 2 matches. Eurogamer reports some users claimed to be in queues of up to 40,000 people.
