Overwatch 2 is still in development, but the first installment still continues to wage war with news and new features. One of the most anticipated was undoubtedly the possibility of enjoying cross-play, something that has finally come from the hand of a beta that all players can access. In fact, the crossplay entre PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S y PC it is enabled by default, although console users can disable it if they wish.
Blizzard Entertainment is aware of the problems that can arise, as PC users have an advantage due to mouse and keyboard control. For this reason, the study has decided to separate the players and not allow cross-play between consoles and PC in the competitive modes. In this way, in these modalities the users of the Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft consoles will meet exclusively, while the compatible players will only play with colleagues and rivals who use a computer.
Battle.net will be mandatory from now on
Everyone who plays on consoles will need to create a Battle.net account and link it to their console later. When starting the game, a message appears asking users to create an account and link it to their system. This last step is not necessary on PC because the title already required a Battle.net account. Here’s how to link the account.
- Start the game on your system.
- Press the confirmation button to get to the Overwatch welcome screen.
- You will receive an alphanumeric code and a QR code.
- The alphanumeric code must be entered at blizzard.com/link.
- The QR code can be scanned with the mobile. Once this is done, it will take you to the corresponding website.
- Log into your Battle.net account to end the connection between your console and the Battle.net account.
- You will receive an ingame message confirming that the process has been completed successfully.
