Blizzard Entertainment announced that the upcoming Overwatch 2<\/a><\/strong> will support account merging with the previous Overwatch game. In preparation, players can already start creating accounts to link their save data through Blizzard’s Battle.net services before the game releases on PC \/ PS5 \/ Xbox Series X \/ Nintendo Switch \/ PS4 \/ Xbox One on October 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players will be able to merge multiple Overwatch accounts and transfer their Overwatch progress data (ranks, presets, etc.) and in-game cosmetic items to Overwatch 2. Starting today, all players with console accounts linked to Battle.net will be prompted to select and confirm the account they wish to integrate when logging in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that you\u2019ll be able to share\u00a0Overwatch 2\u00a0progress between platforms. For instance, if you play on both PC and Xbox, you\u2019ll be able to level up your\u00a0battle pass\u00a0on each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u258d<\/strong><\/span>Important Notice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an\u00a0extensive FAQ<\/strong><\/a>, Blizzard breaks down what\u2019s required to merge multiple\u00a0Overwatch\u00a0accounts. You\u2019ll need a Battle.net account, of course,\u00a0and how things like in-game credits, Overwatch League tokens, achievements, and competitive and skill ratings will be handled.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s incredibly important to take care that the correct account from each console you plan to link is associated with your battle.net account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Account Merge screen in-game will show all accounts associated. You can click on \u201cSwitch Accounts\u201d which will prompt you to scan a QR Code from your mobile phone, or you can visit account.battle.net\/connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you confirm the account merge, you will be unable to immediately link a new console account to that battle.net account. Progress will be stored on the battle.net account you merge with, so you can\u2019t carry over progress from that console account to an additional battle.net account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u258d<\/strong><\/span>About Overwatch 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overwatch 2\u00a0is an upcoming\u00a0first-person shooter\u00a0developed and published by\u00a0Blizzard Entertainment. The sequel to the 2016\u00a0hero shooter\u00a0Overwatch, the game is intended to have a shared environment for\u00a0PvP modes with the first game while introducing persistent cooperative modes. A major change in PvP was to reduce team sizes from six to five, which required several characters to be reworked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players will be split into two teams and select one of\u00a0more than 30 established hero characters. Characters are broken out into damage class, doing most of the team’s offense against the opposing team; support class, providing heals and buffs to teammates; and tank class, having a high damage threshold which absorbs damage for their teammates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each character has a different skill kit with a combination of active and passive abilities as well as a special Ultimate power that can be used after it is charged up. The base\u00a0Overwatch 2\u00a0game, like\u00a0Overwatch, features primarily player versus player battles across several different modes and maps, and includes both casual and ranked matched play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
