Can I Change My Name in Overwatch 2?

Yes! Changing your name is straightforward, though the method depends on your platform and cross-play 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 Battle.net Shop for the exact cost).
• Cross-Play: If cross-play is enabled, use the Battle.net method regardless of your platform. If disabled, use the console's settings.

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

1. Log in: Access the official Battle.net website and log into your account.

   

2. Account Settings: Click your username (top-right), then select "Account Settings." Locate your BattleTag.

   

3. Update BattleTag: Click the blue "Update" (pencil icon) next to your BattleTag.

   

4. Enter New Name: Enter your desired name, adhering to BattleTag naming policies.

   

5. Confirm: Click "Change Your BattleTag." Note: Changes may take up to 24 hours to fully propagate.

   

Changing Your Name on Xbox (Cross-Play Disabled)

1. Open Menu: Press the Xbox button.

2. Profile & System: Navigate to "Profile & System," then your profile.

3. Customize Profile: Select "My Profile," then "Customize Profile."

4. Change Gamertag: Click your Gamertag, enter the new name, and follow the on-screen prompts.

   

Changing Your Name on PlayStation (Cross-Play Disabled)

1. Settings: Access console settings.

2. Users and Accounts: Select "Users and Accounts," then "Accounts," and finally "Profile."

3. Change Online ID: Find "Online ID" and click "Change Online ID." Enter your new name and confirm.

   

Final Recommendations

• Cross-Play Status: Determine your cross-play setting before proceeding.
• Free Change: Remember your single free BattleTag change.
• Wallet Funds: Ensure sufficient funds in your Battle.net Wallet for paid changes.

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