Overwatch server problems or maintenance

Overwatch is easily one of the most popular games to play on PS4, Xbox One and PC right now, arguably the standout game of 2016 so far, with Blizzard doing a great job in keeping the game updated with fresh content and events.

At times though, Overwatch can go down suddenly with server problems and when that happens you can use this page to check the Overwatch server status with other players quickly and find out if maintenance is on, or if it’s an unplanned outage.

Some of the most frequent Overwatch problems include ‘Game server connection failed‘, which could be an issue that happens when Battle.net is down or the strange ‘Overwatch is waiting on another installation or update‘ error.

    Been trying to play overwatch on Xbox one for a week and it gets to the title menu, says entering game and after a long time just comes up with lost connection to game server (LC -202). I’ve tried soft resetting and hard resetting the console but nothing. Got full internet connection as well
    Please help 🙂

    I had issues with OW when the Halloween update came. I couldn’t log in all day, kept saying they’re performing maintenance & to log in again in a few minutes. (Xbox one BTW) even though many on my friends list were playing. After checking a few forums I found a few posts from others who were having the same problems. They advised anyone experiencing this to clear the cache/reset my xbox (holding down the power button on the actual console for 30 seconds until the light on the power brick turns orange) I do this now & then anyway. After doing this I was happy to find an Overwatch update in my games & apps. Once downloaded everything was good. It’s always worth clearing your cache now & then anyway as it does fix a lot of issues as well as the OW issue. Happy gaming x
