Blizzard’s Login Servers Are Down [Update]

Blizzard appears to be having some server issues at time of writing, with players struggling to log in to all Blizzard games.


12:37 AM: Blizzard says game servers were taken offline deliberately, in response to an outage:

Users have been able to login and play matches, though, but given the public holiday there might be a day or two before service resumes as normal.

Update 10:47 PM: Some people are getting back into games, but things aren’t completely rectified yet:


And more recently:

This what Aussie Outages looks like right now, with a large number of people reporting issues across all Blizzard titles.



No word at this stage on what’s causing the issues, or how long it will take to resolve.

Update 10:20 PM: Blizzard hasn’t issued an update as of yet, but people are being able to login and find matches. We’ve confirmed on our end (thanks to Tegan) that people are able to login on PS4. On PC, the American login servers still appear to be down but the European and Asian servers are taking logins. Users are confirming on the Overwatch sub-reddit and social media that they can login as well, although your mileage may vary depending on the platform and game.

Update 6:34 AM: Looks like Blizzard has resolved the issue.
