I’ve been experiencing a bug in Overwatch 2 on PS5 where other players’ movements appear to glitch. Occasionally, characters walk below the map, through buildings, or into walls before snapping back to their actual position. It seems like a desync issue, but it happens frequently, making it difficult to track enemy movements and affecting gameplay.
This issue occurs in all game modes; including unranked, competitive, and arcade. My internet connection is stable, and no other games are having this issue. I’ve even deleted and redownloaded OW2 and I’m still having these issues. I haven’t been able to play for almost a week now.
Please let me know if more details are needed, or if there’s a fix available!
Consoles are a closed environment and troubleshooting issues on those platforms is quite limited.
You can:
Use any built-in connection tools to test the connection.
Reinstall the game on the console.
Reset the console with a long hold on the power button.
Replace the storage device(s).
Unlike PC gaming, consoles require two different connections: one between you and the console platform and the other between the platform and Blizzard. That extra step means there are lots of nodes between you and the actual gaming server — which also leaves lots of room for connection errors.
