The play of the game, earned without doing anything, is undeniably amusing. The video becomes even more unsettling with the absence of sound and the vast empty surroundings of the map. The exact cause of this unexpected event remains uncertain, but it is speculated to be a glitch in the matchmaking servers following the update introducing Illari to competitive games.

A player of Overwatch 2 recently encountered a server problem which resulted in them playing an online game alone. This unusual match led to peculiar gameplay footage, including an extraordinary Play of the Game highlight.

On August 24, a significant update for Overwatch 2 was released, addressing numerous bug fixes and reducing the power of the recently added support hero Illari. However, certain players encountered issues such as server latency, disconnections, and other inexplicable occurrences following the live update.

Redditor and Overwatch 2 player Goku-sann has shared a video of a unique encounter with server problems. After the update, they joined an online match on the famous Overwatch 2 map, Watchpoint: Gibraltar. Strangely, Goku-sann found themselves alone in the match, with no other players. Without any opposition, Goku-sann smoothly guided the payload to its destination as Lucio, creating an eerie atmosphere in the deserted map.

The cause of this peculiar incident remains uncertain. Despite Overwatch 2 receiving negative reviews on Steam, the game still boasts a significant player base, ruling out a lack of players as the problem. Given that other fans also encountered similar disconnections and issues during this time, it is highly probable that a glitch in the matchmaking servers occurred due to the patch and the introduction of Illari in competitive games.

Regardless, Goku-sann's fellow Overwatch 2 players were thoroughly entertained by the video. Many praised them for expertly utilizing Lucio's Moonwalk emote, resulting in one of the most impressive Play of the Game highlights ever witnessed in Overwatch 2. Some also shared their own anecdotes about server issues, with Overwatch 2 fan gs-28 recounting a heartwarming story of both teams collaborating to unlock achievements when the servers failed to backfill leavers. With over 3,000 upvotes and nearly 100 comments, it was evident that everyone agreed that an unconventional win is still a win.

Overwatch 2 Season 6: Invasion is currently underway, introducing some of the most significant changes the game has seen in recent memory. Players have had a couple of weeks to immerse themselves in Illari, conquer the expansive new Flashpoint maps, and delve into the Overwatch 2 Story Missions and the exciting new Underworld PvE mode. Though players still have valid complaints about Overwatch 2, it is undeniably in a better state than ever before since its Early Access debut a year ago.

Overwatch 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
