Overwatch 2 players keep getting frozen in place on Colosseo

Overwatch 2 players have discovered a strange bug that essentially traps players against an invisible wall, stopping them from moving and leaving them exposed to competitors.

The issue – which has been around for some time now – chiefly affects players on the Colosseo map, and sees players get trapped. Without the help of characters like Lifeweaver of Mei's movement abilities to bump them out of position, they'll stay trapped, too.

"I've gotten stuck there as Moira!" confirmed another (thanks, GameRant). "It happened towards the end of my comp match. I was so mad lol."
