    Overwatch expands cross-play to all gaming platforms

    Although no official release date has been set for the rollout of this new feature, there are some details available on the requirements for cross-playing.

    Cross-play will indeed allow players from various platforms to play Overwatch with and against one another.

    However, cross-saving, which is the ability to carry your progress and account information from one platform to another, still has a long way to go before it will be completed and available.

    Even more good news for Overwatch players is that, with the launch of the cross-play feature, everyone who logs in to the game by the end of 2021 will receive a Golden Loot Box to celebrate.

    How do I cross-play Overwatch?

    According to a blog post, all console players, that want to play with users from other platforms, will be required to have a Battle.net account, which they will link to their console accounts.

    The PC players don’t need to take this step, as they already a Battle.net account, from which they play this awesome game.

    For them, when the game is launched, they will be prompted to link their console account to a Battle.net account.

    In order to create a Battle.net account, you can follow the steps listed below.

  • Visit Battle.net
  • Create a free Battle.net account
  • Once you create your Battle.net account, go to your Account Settings
  • Click on the “Connections” section under Account Settings and link your console

    • After you have created your Battle.net account and you are ready to engage enemies from all platforms, all you have to do is:

    These instructions apply to the in-game steps console players will need to take once Cross-Play is available.

  • Launch the game on your system
  • Press the confirmation button to progress through the Overwatch welcome screen
  • You will be presented with an alpha-numeric code and a QR code
  • The alpha-numeric code can be entered at blizzard.com/link
  • The QR code may be scanned with a mobile app to take you to the linking webpage, which will be pre-populated with the code provided in-game
  • Log in with your Battle.net account credentials to finalize the connection between your console game and Battle.net accounts
  • You will receive a message in-game that notifies you that your account is now successfully connected.

    • All that remains now is for the developers to finish with the process, so we can all enjoy some good old fashioned competition, spanning across all gaming platforms.
