How To Fix Overwatch 2 Beta Login Error
The Overwatch 2 beta began on June 28, which is yesterday as of writing this, and once it began and the hordes of players tried to jump in, many were pushed back and with a login error that said they failed to connect to the game server. Annoyingly, the error also doesn't tell you or even give you a hint on how to fix it, so many were just left confused as to why they couldn't access the beta.
This isn't a particularly new issue for multiplayer launches though, as waves of players attempting to get in at the same time can cause some issues on the end of the server, which is exactly what happened here. Essentially, the fix for the Overwatch 2 beta login error is to just keep trying over and over until you finally get in. For the majority of players this will work, and now that's been a day since the beta launched, the likelihood of receiving this message has lessened somewhat.
If you're still getting frustrated by not being able to get onto the game, it could potentially be an issue on your end. In this case, restarting your PC, restarting your internet, reinstalling battle.net, or reinstalling the Overwatch 2 beta are potential fixes that should sort out the problem and allow you to start playing again.
That's our primer on how to fix the Overwatch 2 beta login error, and now you should be able to get into the beta and start playing.
