How to easily report, block, and unblock players in Overwatch 2

Every competitive multiplayer title comes with its own breed of in-game toxicity and disruptive behavior, and Overwatch 2 is no stranger to this fact.

Ever since the release of a title earlier this week, the servers have been plagued with error codes, and game-breaking bugs, as well as toxic disruptive behavior from other players.

While the latest franchise entry has a unique SMS protection feature that is specifically designed to protect players from in-game toxicity, there are times when players may sneak past the feature and purposely look to create trouble for others.

However, there are other things that fans can do to be able to deal with disruptive behavior in Overwatch 2. Players will be able to report, block as well as unblock others in the game, which allows them to have a better competitive experience in the shooter.

Today’s guide will, therefore, go over how players will be able to avail these features in Blizzard’s latest franchise entry.
