Overwatch 2 Players Are Speedrunning Their Way Through The Queue 

Ever since Overwatch 2 launched on October 4th, players have to wait a long time before they get to the title screens and because of that, players aren’t having a particularly enjoyable experience. But the long wait to log into Overwatch 2 has set a new trend among players.  

Players are now speedrunning their way through Overwatch 2 queue in order to get to the login screen. Even though there are loads of players trying to log into the game with servers being overloaded, some players are actually getting through the queue faster than other players.  

One player launched an app that is used for speedrunning in order to record the time before hitting the end of the queue and the player ended up reaching the end of the queue in 16 minutes. Check out the Reddit post below showcasing how much time it took for the player to finally reach the login screen: 

Another player uploaded their speedrun of logging into Overwatch 2 and the player managed to reach the title screen just over 13 seconds after starting the timer which is unbelievably fast for a game whose servers are overloaded with players. Check out the video uploaded by the player below (Note: the video contains swearing): 

These long waiting times have been plaguing Overwatch 2 players and it has been a frustrating experience overall. But the concept of “speedrunning” through the queue in order to reach the login screen is hilarious and its surely a good way to reduce the wait.  

Overwatch 2 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
