Why You Lost All Progress In Overwatch 2?

If you think you have lost all progress in Overwatch 2, It can happen due to various reasons:

  • Account merger process is not completed
  • You are not logged into correct Battle.net account associated with your Overwatch 2
  • Overwatch 2 server is overloaded that’s why Its taking longer time to update the players database
  • There is some bug/ glitch in Overwatch 2

Blizzard Provided updated in their website regarding Problems with Missing Player Items/ Data:

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.

Many players reporting same issue on Twitter & Reddit:

“I’m missing half my cosmetics randomly (ex: I have a christmas spray for sombra but a random spray added beforehand is locked) and my golden weapon is gone. Is this intentional or is this a current bug?”

“I’m in the same boat if you need another account to check – Missing a majority of skins, golden weapons, emotes. Looking forward to an update!”

“i really hope this is a temp bug but i was able to login to overwatch 2 on xbox but i have lost all my characters, skins, levels, everything? hoping it is apart of connection issues”

“5/6 years of playing overwatch are just all gone? Luckily I got in the game, but I have to do everything all over again. Every hero is locked and I don’t have any of my old cosmetics. Send help.”

“Is this a bug cuz all of my ow1 cosmetics and stats got removed off my xbox account. I have to unlock most of the heros and modes too. It thinks im a new player. The beta worked fine and i had everything. i have no idea whats going on at blizzard rn but i hope this gets resolved cuz i have no motivation to play when i lost 5 years of work.”
