Overwatch's grand return has, for the most part, been pretty damn good. I mean, it's not like the game ever went away, but it certainly feels like it's having a little resurgence since dropping the '2' in its name, adding five new heroes, and doing a big ol' overhaul of its UI. True 2026 is the new 2016 energy.

One unfortunate little hiccup, though, was a glitch that prevented players from making progress across the battle pass and its time-limited Conquest event. Things were mostly straightened out, but posts began cropping up across social media from people pointing out that the glitch had rendered it almost impossible to snag all of the rewards.

The event essentially encourages you to bounce from both Talon and Overwatch to complete their respective reward tracks, and the glitch meant that folks were stuck on either one for much longer than they should have. It left many just shy of maxing everything out. That's already annoying, but it also meant that it potentially locked a bunch of people out of getting the Double Agent title at the end of the event, which requires completing a handful of passes on both sides.
