Does Overwatch 2 Have Cross Progression ?

With the launch of Overwatch 2 getting closer Blizzard announced a feature that fans of the title have been asking for. Overwatch 2 Cross Progression has now been officially announced.

With the launch of cross-progression, players can now finally merge their 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 they would like to merge if multiple accounts exist. Once this process is approved, Bizzard will begin to prepare the accounts to be merged during the release of Overwatch 2.

All players will need a battle.net account to play Overwatch 2. This is regardless of whichever platform Overwatch 2 will be played on. Progress from any linked console accounts will be stored on the preferred battle.net account, which will share in-game cosmetics and progress across the linked accounts.

Players must be aware of the following statement. There will be one opportunity to merge console accounts. It is crucial that players are confident about which accounts they would like to merge. There will be no redos.

What Will Be Merged
