Between server errors, broken account merges, and a strange SMS requirement that locked some players with prepaid phone plans out of the game, Overwatch 2’s launch on Tuesday became fairly controversial. Now, Blizzard is apologizing and working to fix some of these issues.<\/p>\n
In a post on Blizzard’s forum, community manager Jodie apologized for the game’s launch and detailed some of the ways the team is working to fix these issues.<\/p>\n
“First, we want to apologize to our players. We expected the launch of Overwatch 2 to go smoothly,” the post reads. “We hold ourselves to a higher standard and we are working hard to resolve the issues you are experiencing.”<\/p>\n
Overwatch 2 introduced a requirement for players to connect a phone number, which oddly doesn’t allow prepaid phone plans. The post explains that Overwatch players with connected Battle.net accounts won’t need to provide a phone number starting on Friday. However, it doesn’t apppear that Blizzard has entirely removed this requirement.<\/p>\n
