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.
You should be good to go for your Switch platform.
You will get all of your Overwatch items from all platforms you have merged in a single BattleNet account ready to go on all platforms, but only when Overwatch 2 launches. Not before.
Yep, head to account.battle.net/connections to review your existing linked console accounts.
Yep, we are asking you to set up your accounts to be merged now so that when Overwatch 2 launches you will get all of your items on a single unified BattleNet account then.
Yeah this is going to come up unless you can merge all three console platforms. If you don’t have all three, ignore that prompt on PC.
Read moreTo clarify, account merging is for all accounts currently in Overwatch before the launch of Overwatch 2. If you start a new account when Overwatch 2 launches, it can’t merge to any preexisting Overwatch console accounts.
This type of account abuse is going to be limited at best. The ability to account merge will only apply for current Overwatch accounts and new accounts starting in Overwatch 2, won’t be able to merge.
This is a type of credit, so your total number of Competitive Points will be summed across all merged accounts.
Hmm… is this in the PlayStation console interface? If so, reach out to PlayStation support for help.
We will have more details on that in an upcoming blog.
No. If you want to play between now and the launch of Overwatch 2, you need a valid license of Overwatch like getting the Watchpoint Pack.
With the launch of cross-progression, players can merge multiple Overwatch accounts to carry progression and in-game cosmetics into Overwatch 2 on a single profile. Starting August 16, every player with a linked console account will be prompted at login to identify, select, and confirm the accounts you want to merge. Once you approve, we will prepare your accounts to be merged during the release of Overwatch 2.
All players will need a battle.net account to play Overwatch 2 regardless of platform. Progress from linked console accounts will be stored on your battle.net account, which will share in-game cosmetics and progress across the linked accounts.
There will be one opportunity to merge console accounts, so make sure you double-check which accounts you are merging before you confirm!
We’ve anticipated some of your questions, and we’re here to provide answers on the upcoming account merge in Overwatch 2.
Unfortunately no. The Spray, Player Icon, and Epic Skin from each seasonal event weekly challenge do not appear in Loot Boxes. There is no way to get them once that weekly challenge passes.
To clarify, Tagged Tracer is the brand new Anniversary Remixed Legendary skin and will appear in Anniversary Loot Boxes. This week’s current challenge will earn the Comic Book Epic skin for Tracer if you did not earn it when we ran the original Tracer Comic Challenge promotion in 2020.
Disco is correct. For context, here is the exact message from the Community Team way back in 2016.
Now that we’ve revealed our upcoming hero, Ana, we know that some of you may want to try to prepare for her arrival either by stocking up on Loot Boxes or holding off on opening the ones you already have.
Before you do that, though, please remember the following: Loot Box contents are generated at the time that they earned or purchased, NOT when they are opened.
This means that any Loot Box you earn or purchase now, or at any point before Ana is released, will not have a chance to contain her cosmetic items. Only those Loot Boxes that are earned or purchased after she is live and playable on your gaming platform will be eligible for her skins, sprays, voice lines, hero emotes, etc. (This is how the system will continue to work for future content updates, too.)
I would not worry about it. Remember that when you receive a Loot Box, the contents are already determined when you receive the loot box and not when it is opened. The opening is more or less a fanfare animation, so you can enjoy the surprise of what you get. I don’t have the details of what it will look like for the automatic opening, but we are more than aware some of you have been stockpiling through the years and will be ready for it.
Can you describe which ones you are referring to? Past icons such as year-marked icons are typically granted at the start of an event for free (not from a Loot Box) and are not granted again in later years.
Greetings everyone,
The issue of Origins Edition skins disappearing on your account should now be resolved.
Please completely log out, and update your game if you have not already.
Cheers! (^^)v
