Battle.net server status: Is Battle.net down?

If you're trying to log in to Battle.net for Overwatch 2, Hearthstone, the PC version of Warcraft Rumble, or another game, then you might come across the "It's a busy day for Battle.net!" message. Is Battle.net down? Here's how to check for the Battle.net server status and more.

When you log in to your account on Battle.net, you might get a message that goes, "It's a busy day for Battle.net!" Right below that, there's some information indicating how long you must wait before you're officially signed in. However, this queue can last longer than the estimated wait time.

The message also advises, "To help everyone log in, you've been placed in a queue. Please leave this window open and we'll get you in as quickly as possible."

According to Blizzard, this particular Battle.net error is caused by high sign-in traffic. Therefore, the queue helps them process logins effectively. Blizzard also noted that the queue won't save your place in line if you leave or if you're removed for other reasons.

Interestingly, when we jumped out of the queue for a second time as a test and logged back in again, we were able to access our account. Therefore, this method might be worth a shot if you're willing to risk losing your place in line. Just check if the queue is a glitch or a widespread issue first. Do this by following the tips in the section below.

You can check if the server is experiencing issues by visiting Blizzard's weekly maintenance schedule. Another option is to visit the company's customer service account on X. You can even check the support forms, a game's specific subreddit, or the Downdetector website.

That's all for now. We hope you can get back into gaming soon. Stick around on esports.gg for more news, guides, and updates!
