Getting Into Overwatch 2 Servers

Since the game just launched its Halloween update, the servers are pretty congested at the moment, and you’ll likely have to wait in queue for a while before you’re able to get in. Generally, once you boot up the game, just wait for your turn in queue, and the game will eventually look for a game server to put you into. Once it finds a server, you’ll get in, and you’re all good to go.

However, considering that there have been past reports of a DDoS attack and errors popping up for users who used the Account Merge feature, things might not be so easy.
