Blizzard has lost all the statistics of console players in Overwatch 2 in two weeks

The launch of Overwatch 2 is another proof that Blizzard Studio should not exist in its current state.

However, the problem is getting worse every day, which is proved by the next press release of the developers.

At the start, players were already faced with endless queues, departures when receiving achievements, forced binding to a mobile phone profile, overheating of processors and data transfer from Overwatch, which could take several days.

And we are silent about the fact that the developers were unable to prepare the main portion of content for release in the form of a cooperative mode, which was postponed until 2023.

But now it turned out that Blizzard managed to irretrievably lose . . . all statistics of console players for two weeks.

According to the statement, due to a fatal error, the statistics of console players were reset every time the game was launched.

The reason is the priority of profile data on a PC compared to consoles (even if a person has never launched Overwatch on a PC).

Now Blizzard has corrected the mistake, but all the data about the matches that were played between October 4 and October 18 on consoles were irretrievably lost.

We are talking about the number of victories and defeats, damage inflicted, treatment of allies, and so on. Cosmetic items and statistics in rating battles were not affected.

The studio also promises to restore statistics on the first part of Overwatch, which was affected by the bug.

"We apologize for the disappointment this error may have caused, as well as for any lost data from your gameplay in Overwatch 2," the statement said.

Such an incident once again raises the question of what is going on in the studio.

And this is against the background of the fact that the annual releases of shooters from the Call of Duty series from the same Activision Blizzard pass without such serious problems, which have been observed for DECADES in projects from Blizzard.
