Finally a cross mode!
Five years after its release, Overwatch will finally go cross-play… Soon…
One of the biggest complaints about Overwatch is that players can only participate in it if they are playing on the same platform. PC-riders with PC-riders, Xboxers with Xboxers and so on. But soon it will no longer be like that. Blizzard announced that they will soon begin beta-testing the so-called cross-play upgrade, which will allow users of PCs, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch to create battlegroups regardless of the platform they play on.
To use the mode, you will need to create an account on Battle.net and link it (if you haven't already) to your Xbox, PSN or Nintendo account. All players will now have to have an account regardless of whether they use cross mode or not. Will it be possible to play Overwatch on one platform and then transfer your character to another? No.
