Free to Play - Help!
So Overwatch 2 is going to be free to play… my (limited) understanding of this is when released, you will be prompted to update the game if you already have OW1 installed (which I do on PC & PS4; main account being PS4)
But here’s my issue - I’m thinking of getting a newer gen console, and considering swapping to Xbox. Will OW2 still be available for free? Will it be on the PS/Microsoft store to download, or would I need to have OW1 installed (in which case I’d have to purchase again, not ideal 
) I can’t seem to find a clear answer.
I’ve done my account merge, so I assume if I do swap over to Xbox I will still have my cosmetics & progression…
Yes. It will be free to all new and returning players.
You will be able to download the game when we go live on October 4th (exact timing and details are coming soon).
Yep, all you need to do is make sure any new console accounts is linked to the same BattleNet account you are using.
FuenteIf you only are on PC, you can access your PC account on a new console account when you link to that console account.
