As Overwatch 2 game is attracting lot of players more that what Overwatch 2 servers can handles.

In this guide, we will explain why is account merge going in queue in Overwatch 2 and how to fix it.
Why Is Account Merge In Queue In Overwatch 2?
Your account merger is in queue in Overwatch 2 because Overwatch 2 servers are full.
As lot of players trying to enter into game but Overwatch 2 is can handle limited traffic.
That’s why players are putting in queue with queue number.

Lot of players reporting same issue on Twitter & Reddit:
“Im on PS5 and my account merge says in queue. Does anyone know how long this takes? Has anyone had it complete? I restarted the game and still says Account Merge in progress.”
“Bruh i only have a ps4 and they had an option to merge my account from overwatch 1 and now I’m stuck with merge in queue 😐”
“As soon as I merge my accounts I unlocked everyone but it still says I’m in a queue for the account merging, because I haven’t gotten any of my things besides whatevers on my pc”
“Same here. Tried to merge my PS4 and Switch accounts yesterday. The PS4 account says “merged”, but the Switch says “waiting”. They said to close the game and wait 1 minute… since yesterday 😔 nothing changed today”
“My console account is currently showing as “in queue” for account merge. When I click on account merge, it shows a modal telling me that my account is being prepared for migration, with details about the console and bnet accounts that are to be merged. The first modal seems normal for the “in queue” status.”
How To Fix “Account Merge In Queue” In Overwatch 2?
To merge the account in Overwatch 2 on their console, Go to option menu >> Tap on Account Merge option >> Tap on “Confirm your Account for Merge“.
They will next have to verify that the two accounts were appropriately combined.
Upon successful completion, a confirmation message will appear at the bottom of the screen.
If you are seeing account merge “in queue” then you have to wait until your queue number which is assigned to you.
Because Overwatch 2 server is full and can’t handle more player at that time.

Blizzard Provided updated in their website regarding Queue Issues, Server Crashes, and Stability:
“Login queues, server crashes, and stability problems are intertwined, so we’ll talk about them together. Players may have been seeing their queue numbers jumping around, going from a small number to a larger number. This is due to there being two queues for players—one through Battle.net, then one through the game itself. This process is usually invisible to players, but was being seen in real time. We have made changes to simplify the queuing process, so players should now only be experiencing the one queue before entering the game.”
“There are several areas where we’re working to improve stability. Today we’ve patched a server that is critical to the login experience, and this change has increased login reliability. Beyond queues, we’re in progress with another server update that will reduce the occurrences of players being disconnected once they’re already in game.”
“Finally, the player database is being overloaded, which cascades and causes a backup in the login system, which eventually leads to some people being dropped out of queues or being unable to log in at all.”
“We’re continuing to add nodes to ease the pressure on the player database. The process of adding nodes requires replication of data, which inherently adds pressure to an already stressed system, so we’re doing it slowly to not cause any further disruption as devs and engineers work through separate issues. We are also currently throttling queues in order to protect the player database as much as we can while we scale—this feels bad in the short-term, but once it’s done, will greatly improve the experience for players across multiple fronts moving forward.”
Blizzard Provided updated in their website regarding Problems with Account Merge (Missing Player Items/Data)
“We’ve received a number of reports from players that their inventory in-game is partially or totally reset. We’ve determined that the cause for this discrepancy in approximately half of reported cases is players having not yet completed their account merge. This is understandable—one cause for this is due to a bug with the launch build not providing an account merge prompt on some consoles. We rolled out a partial UI fix earlier today to help some console players progress through the account merge flow, however, we are still working on fixes for additional UI issues.”
“In the other half of reported cases for this issue, things are just taking longer than expected for items from the original Overwatch to transfer and populate in Overwatch 2. In all cases, no player data has been wiped or lost. We have a client-side fix for this that cannot be deployed until next week, so we are exploring server-side fixes and will provide updates as more information becomes available.”
“There was a separate issue with account merge where players who had merged their console and PC accounts were experiencing problems logging in. This bug is now resolved. If you watched any community streamers on launch day, you might have noticed some had more trouble logging in than others; this bug was the primary cause for that.”
