How to Merge Accounts – Overwatch 2?
If you’re wondering how to merge accounts in Overwatch 2, this guide is all you need!
One of Overwatch 2’s most well-received features is cross-progression. This means that players can now merge their previous Overwatch accounts on console and PC into a single Battle.net profile.
Merging your accounts will allow you to take your hard-earned unlocks, items, stats, and credits from Overwatch and carry them over to Overwatch 2.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of Overwatch 2 account merge so you can make the most out of this new feature.
How to Merge Accounts in Overwatch 2?
The first thing you’ll need to merge your Overwatch accounts is a Battle.net account. This account will be the central hub that will bind your accounts together and is required before you can play Overwatch 2.
It is also worth noting that you can only merge one account from every platform and your console accounts can only be linked to one Battle.net account at a time. After that, the process differs depending on what platform you are playing on.
How to Merge Accounts on PC?
- First, log into Battle.net using Chrome or any web browser.
- Look for your name in the top-right corner and click
- Go to Account Settings
- Choose Connections
- Select the platform of your original Overwatch account and click Connect
This page is where you can merge your console accounts to your PC. You can merge your accounts from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch to PC using this method. After clicking connect, you will be taken to a page where you have to log into your console account.
It is important to remember that there is a 365-day cooldown before you can change an account after it is connected. So make sure you connect the right account or you have to wait for a year before you can connect to another one.
How to Merge Accounts on Console?
You can also access your Battle.net account from your console. Simply follow these instructions:
- Launch Overwatch 2 on your console and log in.
- When logging in, you will receive a QR code and you need to scan it using your phone.
- Go through the prompts to get a unique code shown on your console.
- Enter this code to get the option of connecting to an existing Battle.net account or creating a new one.
- Close Overwatch 2 and log in again to complete the merge.
