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

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

1. Access the official Battle.net website and log in.
