Can I Change My Name in Overwatch 2?

Yes! The process varies slightly depending on your platform and cross-platform settings.

How to Change Your Name in Overwatch 2

Your in-game name is tied to your Battle.net account (BattleTag).

Key Considerations:

• Free Name Change: You get one free BattleTag change.
• Paid Name Changes: Subsequent changes incur a fee (approximately $10 USD; check your region's price in the Battle.net shop).
• Cross-Platform Play: If enabled, use the PC method. If disabled, use your console's settings.

Changing Your Name on PC (or Console with Cross-Platform Play Enabled)

1. Visit the official Battle.net website and log in.
2. Click your current username (top-right).
3. Select "Account Settings," locate your BattleTag, and click the blue "Update" (pencil icon).
4. Enter your new BattleTag (following naming policies).
5. Click "Change Your BattleTag." Note: Changes may take up to 24 hours to fully propagate.

Changing Your Name on Xbox (Cross-Platform Play Disabled)

1. Press the Xbox button; navigate to "Profile & System," then your profile.
2. Select "My Profile," then "Customize Profile."
3. Click your Gamertag, enter a new name, and follow on-screen instructions. Note: This name change is only visible to other Xbox players with cross-platform play disabled.

Changing Your Name on PlayStation (Cross-Platform Play Disabled)

1. Go to "Settings," then "Users and Accounts," followed by "Accounts," and finally "Profile."
2. Find "Online ID," select "Change Online ID," enter your new name, and confirm. Note: This name change is only visible to other PlayStation players with cross-platform play disabled.

Final Recommendations

• Choose Your Method: PC method for PC or cross-platform play; console settings for console-only play (cross-platform disabled).
• Name Change Costs: Remember the free change limit and subsequent fees.
• Battle.net Wallet: Ensure sufficient funds if paying for a name change.

By following these steps, you can easily update your Overwatch 2 username and maintain a consistent online identity.
