Is Battle.net down?

When you attempt to access your account on Battle.net, you may encounter a message saying, “Today is quite busy on Battle.net!” Beneath that, there’s some details explaining how long you should expect to wait before being fully signed in.

The message additionally recommends, “So that everyone can sign in smoothly, you’re currently being held in line. Kindly keep this window active, and we’ll bring you in promptly.

Can’t log in to Battle.net

According to Blizzard, this specific Battle.net login issue is due to a high volume of users trying to sign in at the same time. The queue system assists them in managing these logins efficiently. However, it’s important to note that if you leave the queue or get removed for any reason, your place in line won’t be saved.

This method could potentially work for you if you don’t mind the risk of losing your place in line. However, ensure the queue isn’t due to a system glitch or widespread issue first. You can do this by following the suggestions provided in the section below.
