Blizzard has just announced the Overwatch 2 Game Pass benefits for Game Pass members, these include skins and in-game bonuses. Here’s how to access them.
This week, Publisher Blizzard Entertainment announced that their free-to-play, hero-based first-person shooter ‘Overwatch 2’ will enter into Xbox Game Pass on the 17th of September. Any active Game Pass subscriber can get a cache of cosmetics and even access to shop skins from the previous three seasons. Here is how you can connect your battle.net and Xbox accounts per Blizzard:
How to Link Accounts
- Navigate to your Battle.net Account Connections page.
- Next to Xbox Network, make sure the Xbox Account with your eligible Game Pass subscription is listed.
- If the correct account is linked, you are good to go!
- If no account is listed, click the +Connect button to initiate the linking process
- Ensure you are linking the correct account; account links have cooldowns limiting how often they can be changed. Customer Support cannot assist with bypassing cooldowns on linking accounts.
- If the wrong Xbox Account is listed and it has been more than 1-year since the accounts were linked:
- Click Disconnect
- Click +Connect to initiate the linking process for the correct Xbox Account
- If the wrong Xbox Account is listed and the link cooldown has not yet expired, you will need to use a new or different Battle.net Account to link to your Xbox Account.
Here’s what we had to say about Overwatch 2 back at launch:
It’s been a long time coming, but Overwatch 2 is finally here, and it is fantastic. The launch has been terrible, with servers down for days. Now that it’s finally working, and I’ve gotten a solid 20 hours in though I’m a happy, happy boy. The changes feel great, the new maps and heroes are excellent, and the change to free-to-play has gone well so far. I absolutely loved Overwatch, putting over a thousand hours into the original release, so let’s break down what’s changed, is new, and is still a bit broken.
