If there are no problems with the Blizzard servers, make sure you’re signed into your Xbox profile and online with Xbox Live.

Also, check if your Xbox is properly connected to the router and if you’re using a Wi-Fi connection, switch to cable if possible. Go to the Network tab on your Xbox and select Check Connection from the menu.

If that doesn’t work, try restarting your router and see if other devices can connect to the router and have internet access. If not, troubleshoot your router and/or contact your internet service provider for instructions on how to fix the issue.

2. Power cycle your Xbox

After a minute, plug everything back and power on the console. Try to log into Overwatch 2 again.

If the Overwatch 2 servers are online and your internet connection works fine, try reinstalling the game.
