How to fuse Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC accounts

The essential: the platforms that are part of the fusion are Xbox (Xbox One and Xbox Series X / s through the backward), PlayStation (PS4 and PS5 through retrocompatibility), Nintendo Switch and PC. In addition, only one account per platform can be linked . For example, if you have two Battle.net accounts on your PC, you will not be able to merge those accounts.

These are the steps you must follow to merge your console account to a Battle.net account:

• Log in Overwatch from your console account.

• If you don't have a Battle.net account still:

• Visit Battle.net, create a Battle.net account for free. Go to your account settings and, from the connection section on account settings, link your console

• Follow the indications that appear on the screen to scan the QR code on your mobile phone.

• Once the web has accessed, you enter the code that appears in your console to connect or simply create a Battle.net account.

• When you complete the process, you will be asked to confirm your account by starting session to merge the accounts.

From here, a nuance: You will only have an opportunity to merge the appropriate accounts to your Battle.net account. **** In other words, if you have several accounts in use, once a console account with your Battle.net account, you will not be able to link it to a console account other than the same platform.

An extra advice: it is not necessary to look at the steps and check that you do not link another person's account or one in which you barely have progress to your Battle.net account.

On the other hand, you can also configure everything directly from the PC from Battle.net connections. And if you have any problem, the Blizzard website has an assistance section on frequent problems when linking accounts.

Fusion of Overwatch in one is not optional, but everything is advantages

As we commented at the beginning, the nature of Overwatch 2 is to offer a free-to-play, multiplatform and cross-game title. It is not something new. And, like Fortnite with the Epic Games or Multiversus account with a Warner account, on all console or PC platforms it will be necessary

Above all, because when October 4 it arrives Overwatch 2, This will go to replace the original overwatch.

From here, an note: Overwatch 2 is not a blank the match. And the same applies to our statistics and configurations. So that the merger is also the only way to access and move the progress of Overwatch to Overwatch 2. **

Thus, in case of having Overwatch on Nintendo Switch and PC, for example, we will find that:

• The graffiti, gestures, aspects and everything that appears in the gallery tab of the game obtained in the console will appear on PC. Similarly, the credits of Overwatch * will be added after melting the accounts.
• On the other hand, the skill and competitive index will be divided by platform (console and PC) and in the case of playing in console the highest range will appear.

All aspects quite demanded by the community, everything is said.

And what happens if we don't want to start the process? Blizzard herself

If you do not confirm the fusion of accounts in the game, you will constantly appear a screen in the game identifying your accounts and requesting your approval to proceed with the merger.
