Can you change your name in Overwatch 2?

Yes! Changing your Overwatch 2 name is possible, and we'll guide you through the process for PC and consoles.

How to Change Your Name in Overwatch 2

Your in-game name is tied to your Battle.net account (your BattleTag). Here's the key information:

• First Name Change: Free.
• Subsequent Changes: Involves a fee (approximately $10 USD; check the Battle.net shop for your region's pricing).
• Cross-Platform Play: If enabled, use the PC method. If disabled, change your name through your console settings.

Changing Your Nick on PC

This method also applies to console players with cross-platform play enabled.

1. Go to the official Battle.net website and log in.
2. Click your current username (top-right).
3. Select "Account Settings," then locate your BattleTag.
4. Click the blue "Update" (pencil icon).
5. Enter your new name (following BattleTag naming rules).
6. Click "Change Your BattleTag."

Your new name may take up to 24 hours to fully update.

Changing Your Name on Xbox

(For Xbox players with cross-platform play disabled.)

1. Press the Xbox button to open the main menu.
2. Go to "Profile & System," then your Xbox profile.
3. Select "My Profile," then "Customize Profile."
4. Click your Gamertag, enter your new name, and confirm.

Note: This only changes your Xbox Gamertag; other players with cross-play enabled will still see your BattleTag.

Changing Your Username on PlayStation

(For PlayStation players with cross-platform play disabled.)

1. Open console settings, go to "Settings."
2. Select "Users and Accounts," then "Accounts," then "Profile."
3. Locate "Online ID," click "Change Online ID," enter your new name, and confirm.

Note: This only changes your PSN ID; other players with cross-play enabled will still see your BattleTag.

Final Recommendations

Choose the method that matches your platform and cross-play settings. Remember: only one free BattleTag change is allowed. Subsequent changes require payment. Ensure sufficient funds in your Battle.net wallet if needed.
