Can you change your name in Overwatch 2?

Yes! Changing your Overwatch 2 name is possible, and the process is relatively straightforward. This guide will walk you through the steps for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

How to Change Your Name in Overwatch 2

Your in-game name is tied to your Battle.net account (your BattleTag). Here's what you need to know:

• You get one free BattleTag change.
• Subsequent changes incur a fee (approximately $10 USD; check your region's price in the Battle.net Shop).
• If you use cross-platform play, the process is the same for PC and consoles.
• Without cross-platform play, you'll change your name through your console's settings.

Changing Your Nick on PC

For PC players, or console players with cross-platform play enabled, follow these steps:

1. Visit the official Battle.net website and log in.
2. 
3. Click your username in the top-right corner.
