Overwatch Dev Tracker

In this case, the item in that Loot Box will pay out the normal duplicate coin payout once it is finally opened.

Not from me. Another member of the community has been keeping track of the Contenders schedule and keeping an eye on a few things regarding drops which you can check out here:

Greetings, everyone. I did confirm with the Overwatch League that they are looking into the issues and will catch up on the token drop rewards. It may take a few days but they will catch them up so keep watching.

I will look into any issues with the Contender skins when I get back in the office on Monday. Just remember there are many more broadcasts remaining on the B-Sides schedule to collect the necessary hours to collect those skins.

Good morning, heroes! Going to take some time to answer some of your questions posted throughout the night since my last visit. A few quick things to follow up on:

• We ask that you confirm your accounts in-game, just already having your accounts linked is not confirmation. This is important to make sure you can start playing Overwatch 2 with all of your collected items on all platforms right away when we launch.
• The red “ACCOUNT CHANGED” message below your name in the account merge prompt is not an issue. As long as it appears with the name of your respective console account, you are good to go. If you are uncertain, just visit account.battle.net/connections to reverify your current console accounts linked to your BattleNet account.
• If for any re...

Basically, whatever console account is linked to the BattleNet account you confirmed, everything on that console account up to launch of Overwatch 2 is rolled into your BattleNet account when the new game launches.

You do want to confirm in-game, because that tells us those are the accounts you want and we are good to go to merge them when we launch.

You can verify all of your account connections and link them from account.battle.net/connections

No, they are still good to confirm. They need to make sure they are linked at account.blizzard.com/connections and then confirm when logging onto the PC version of Overwatch.

It’s okay, crossplay is not really changing from what we know of it now. Cross-Progression is the big news that came out yesterday and you can get all of the details here:

Console players will still have their own console pool rank separated from that of PC players (not to mention console players cannot play in the Competitive PC pool anyways).

You get to keep all of it, PC, Xbox, and Switch and will all be access from the same BattleNet account once Overwatch 2 launches.

What players cannot do is merge multiple console accounts from the same console platform. So say if you have two PlayStation accounts, you must pick one of those two PlayStation accounts to link and merge with the BattleNet account of your choice.

Hey everyone. Thanks for all of the questions, and I hope I was able to clarify a lot as we all get closer to Overwatch 2. I have to step away for now as there are many more things I am working on, but I will continue to check in for your questions and feedback.

There will be a prompt in-game when you log in the next time to confirm you have the correct accounts you want to merge. Clicking confirm will lock the accounts you currently have linked in place.

You simply have that item, and no compensation or extra credits are issued from having the same item across multiple platforms before merging.

Correct. Details can be found in this r/Games AMA response from our system designer.

We do still plan to remove portrait levels for OW2, but we also want to celebrate this legacy accomplishment. The plan is to display your portrait level in your profile once we launch OW2.

Like all duplicate cosmetics, there is no compensation for having two of the exact same item.

EDIT: To clarify, when I say duplicate, I mean if there are duplicate items between the two accounts being merged. Not duplicates that can appear from a opened Loot Box.

You should be fine. Again just check your accounts you have linked to BattleNet at account.battle.net/connections

The highest XP level will be pushed through

To clarify, if you are already on a platform and then sign into a new platform under the same BattleNet account, you will access the items from that BattleNet on the new platform.

What you won’t be able to do is link a totally separate BattleNet account to another BattleNet account even if each account is on a different platform.

Yes, you should be prompted on PC as long as you already linked your PlayStation account. You can link online at account.battle.net/connections

I will put in as much time as I have available. That being said, I will need to pull away here soon.
