Overwatch LC-202 error on Xbox One and PS4: what it is and how to fix it

4.6
There’s a particular connection error that keeps cropping up every now in then for Overwatch players on PS4, and Xbox One. Error LC-202 prevents the game from doing the initial log in, meaning you get stuck

A number of things could be causing this error, chief among them is your console’s connectivity to the internet. First of all, it’s always recommended you connect the console to the internet though a cable, and not wirelessly. Try doing this first.

If the connection type is not an issue, check if there are any problems with your console’s internet connectivity by performing a basic connection test through settings.

If that doesn’t fix it, you’ll need to dig deeper. Blizzard’s looking glass tool is a great way for you test your connection to Blizzard servers.

If you are in fact having trouble reaching Blizzard servers, see if you have these ports open in your router. This is a last resort step that’s different for each router, so don’t change things unless you know what you’re doing. Simply google your router’s model name with the words “port forwarding” and follow the guide.

If the problem continues even after trying the workarounds above, it’s best to check if this is not a global issue with Blizzard’s servers.

Having a cable is not a necassry requirment to have a xbox or PS4 and it shouldnt be for playing a game. Its ridiclous to see gamers having to resort to going out and buying a cable (some may have them but many routers need at least a 1m cable.)

Me and my brother are connected though a cable so we should all be good.

Kind of shitty as some people have to connect wirelessly and aren't always able to run a cable.
