The highly-anticipated Overwatch 2 has finally gone live on PC & Console. It’s the rebirth of the household hero-shooter Overwatch with better skins, reworks, and new characters added to its roster of fun heroes. Players often ask if the skins they had back in Overwatch can be transferred to OW2.

Both console and PC players require a short set of actions to assure your skins are safely transferred to OW2. This guide will help you how to properly transfer OW skins to Overwatch 2. Let’s get to it.

How to Merge Accounts and Transfer Overwatch Skins to Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 is available on PC, Xbox, Playstation, and Switch. Regardless of your device, you need to create a battle.net account. This account will contain all your player progressions and skins, regardless of which type of gaming device you’re using.

So if you bought skins on different platforms, they will all transfer over to Overwatch 2. Before we get into things, remember that you can only merge 1 account, so it’s important to double-check your accounts to determine if it’s correct.

How to Merge for Console

Merging for the console requires a short set of actions compared to the PC. Follow these sets of steps to merge for the console.

• First,  launch Overwatch on the console
• Scan the QR code with your phone
• Follow the link to battle.net
• Enter the code displayed on the console to log into your account

• Confirm the account merging

Once you log in, everything you had in OW will now be available in Overwatch 2.

How to Transfer Overwatch Skins on PC

Fortuantel, it’s drastically easier if you’re a PC player. You don’t need to merge your accounts since on PC, you’re already playing on a battle.net account. The battle.net account already has all your skins and digital assets stored on it.

Simply open OW2 on PC, then everything you had will be there. Easy peasy.
