BlizzardEntertainment's President says a DDoS attack is to blame for Overwatch2's launch day server issues.
Overwatch 2 finally launched today, but it’s been tough to consistently enjoy the game because of long virtual queue lines to start playing and other server issues once you’re actually in a match. According to Activision Blizzard, a distributed denial-of-service attack attack is to blame for these day-one server woes.
“Unfortunately, we are experiencing a mass DDoS attack on our servers,” Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra tweeted on October 4 shortly after thanking players for their excitement and apologizing for server issues. “Teams are working hard to mitigate/manage. This is causing a lot of drop/connection issues.”

No individual group has taken credit for the DDoS attack at this time, and the server issues are ongoing at the time of writing.
