Common Problems

  • I bought an Overwatch box from another region, can I still use it?
  • Will my progress be shared across regions?
  • How do I change my region in Overwatch?

Overwatch 2 does not have an option to change or select servers as it is a global game. Overwatch detects the server with the best latency based from the group or player location.

If you are experiencing latency, you will want to work through our Overwatch Technical troubleshooting article.


If the troubleshooting steps don't resolve the problem, you can ask the Blizzard player community for help on the tech support forums (if available) or other community gaming sites. Local computer or network technicians may also be able to help if you've exhausted all other resources.
