Fixing Overwatch 2 BC-124 Error

The Overwatch 2 BC-124 error occurs when there is a problem with your console’s connection to the game’s network, which primarily happens to Xbox users. To fix this issue, here are a few methods that can help with this error:

  • Optimize/Restart your internet connection.
  • Restart your console.
  • Check to see if there are any updates for Overwatch 2 or your console.
  • Unlink your Xbox account from Battle.net, then reconnect it.
  • Ensure that your NAT type is on ‘Open’ or ‘Moderate’ on your Xbox settings.

The first thing you can do is to see if your internet connection is stable enough to run Overwatch 2. But, if everything checks out, players should ensure that the console is fully updated, along with the game itself.

When the BC-124 error still shows up, players can unlink their Xbox account by going to their ‘Account Settings’ on Battle.net. From there, you can press ‘Connections’ to look over all your accounts, where you’ll be able to select ‘Disconnect’ on the console’s section. Once users have successfully unlinked their account, they must reconnect it and go back to see if the issue persists.

Furthermore, you can check your NAT type in your Xbox settings since this can prevent Overwatch 2’s network from accessing your system. Blizzard has also been updating the game over time, so the problem could be resolved in the future.

That does it for our guide on how to fix the Overwatch 2 BC-124 error. While you are here, you can learn how to resolve other glitches in the game, such as the Bronze V Competitive bug and an error that restarts or shuts down your computer.
