Overwatch 2 is one of the most anticipated games of this year but many players are not happy as they are facing several issues and bugs while accessing the game. The PlayStation 5 login error is one of the latest errors many PS5 users are facing while playing Overwatch 2. It triggers when players attempt to log in to their PS5 account in the game. The exact error message reads – “Failed to connect to the game server. Please try again later.” If you are also receiving the same error message and are unable to log in on your PS5, worry not. Thankfully, there are a few workarounds to help solve this issue. Let’s learn in this guide, how to fix Overwatch 2 PS5 login error.
How to Fix Overwatch 2 PS5 Login Error
First thing first, it is important to note that PlayStation 5 can run the PS4 version of the game as well. If you have already updated Overwatch 1 and pre-loaded the game, then your system must have the PS4 version of the game installed. Conversely, if you have downloaded the OW2 from the PlayStation store, then it must be the PS5 version of the game.
If you have different versions of the same game on your PS5 console, then it gives you an option to switch between these two versions. In case, any of the versions don’t work properly, then you can easily switch to another version of the game.
So far, this is the best method to bypass the login error. However, make sure your system has a minimum of 65 GB of space as both of these versions can take up a total of said space.
If that doesn’t help, don’t panic as the Blizzard support team has already acknowledged this issue. Some other players are also reporting that they are able to log in on their PS5 but after a while, they are disconnected once they are already in the game.

And working on another server to reduce the occurrences of players being disconnected once they are already in the game. So, hopefully, the issue will be resolved as quickly as possible and PS5 users will be able to log in and enjoy their favorite Overwatch 2.
