Overwatch 2 had to deal with almost expected launch problems in the form of long queues, but there were also several DDoS attacks on the game’s servers.

The opinion has also changed with regard to verification via SMS, which is no longer mandatory for all players. Previously, some were unable to use this feature due to their prepaid contracts.
