Blizzard OW2 beta not showing up for fans :
Players are reporting that they have been unable to access the Overwatch 2 beta due to it not appearing correctly in their game accounts.
According to the OW2 Community Team, the Overwatch 2 beta may not appear immediately due to server capacity issues.
Blizzard’s Andy Belford confirmed more on Twitter :
What a day! A few updates for everyone
1. Drops don't redeem immediately. There's going to be a bit of delay in between you claiming, and seeing the Tech Beta client in your launcher
2. We're working on increasing server capacity now, sorry for anyone dropping from game!— Andy Belford (he/him) 💙 (@andybelford) April 27, 2022
“We estimate around 30 minutes between claiming and access being granted.”
Important drops info: please make sure that your Blizzard acct is connected to Twitch within at least an hour after claiming (assuming you didn't double check this morning), otherwise you may have significant delays in receiving access
