Overwatch 2 is going to be released on the 4th October, 2022. Because it is the sequel to Overwatch, players become curious to play this game. Also, Overwatch 2 is coming almost six years after Overwatch, so the players have high expectations from the game. Before the game releases, players are curious about tons of features, but one of the most asked questions is whether they can transfer their Skins from Overwatch to Overwatch 2.
This guide will help you know how you can transfer your skin from Overwatch to Overwatch 2.
Shifting Skins in Overwatch 2- How to Do?
Overwatch 2 is one of the most-anticipated games of this year. Whenever a game’s new season, installment, or sequel comes, players become curious and anxious about their purchased and earned items. Overwatch 2 is no exception. Here also, players become anxious about their skins in Overwatch and ask for the answers to whether they can be shifted to Overwatch 2.
If you also have the same question, let me tell you that, yes, skins can be transferred. Blizzard Entertainment has already said players can transfer the skins from Overwatch to Overwatch 2. Though the process is easy for PC players, Console Players must go through a lengthy process.
Console players have to merge their Console account to their Blizzard.net account, and all their stored items, including skins, also be shifted to Overwatch 2. We have a complete guide on how to merge accounts in Overwatch 2. If you need some help, you can go through the guide. Also, we have put the steps below-
- Open your Battle.net account through a browser or the desktop app
- Go to Accounts
- Next, select Connections
- Select the Console Accounts you want to link
- Launch the Overwatch game, and click on the Account Merge option
- Click on the Continue option and check whether the screen shows the console accounts you want to link. If everything is all right, follow the further instructions to finish the process; if you find it wrong, get back to your Battle.net account to correct it.
That’s all you need to know about merging your Battle.net account to your console and shifting the skins to Overwatch 2. Remember, the Battle.net account is necessary, so if you don’t have the account, you have to make one by logging in to Overwatch on your console and scanning the QR code. Also, you can merge only one console account from a particular platform. Once the accounts are merged, the Skins you have got in Overwatch will be automatically transferred to Overwatch 2.
