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:
Read moreConsole 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.
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.
You should be good to go then.
Do the same, Tfast, just verify your accounts at account.battle.net/connections
Thanks CowboyWife,
Go to account.battle.net/connections and see if your PlayStation account is linked to the correct BattleNet account.
Make sure it is downloaded and accessible in your console account and the skin should appear in your finalized BattleNet account once the merge is complete.
To clarify, you can get all of your items from Overwatch in each of your platforms that you have collected up to this point into a unified BattleNet account which you can access in all platforms, once Overwatch 2 launches.
So if you have Pink Mercy on PS4, Oni Genji on PC, and Brick Bastion on Xbox and you merge all three platforms, you will access all three of those skins across all platforms for that BattleNet account.
