You’ll then need to link your respective console account to within your account settings.
In a recent Reddit AMA, Overwatch technical director John Lafleur said “given the additional complexities of cross-progression, it would probably make most sense to tackle cross-play, first and then explore progression as a potential add-on, if we go this route.”īlizzard says that in order to jump into the cross-play beta, you’ll need to make a account, if you haven’t already (it’s been a requirement for PC players, but it has been optional on console). Though, that might not be the case in the future. So, your collection of skins and XP level on, say, Nintendo Switch, won’t carry over to other platforms and vice versa.
#DO YOU HAVE TO BUY OVERWATCH AGAIN FOR MAC UPDATE#
The update doesn’t enable cross-progression between multiple copies of the game that you might own. Some of the most popular online titles feature cross-play support, like Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone, and it bodes well that this feature may be supported earlier on in the game’s upcoming sequel, Overwatch 2.Ĭross-play is a welcome, if overdue, feature to have in Overwatch, but it might not be all that you’re hoping for. Until now, the communities on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch were segmented, but this update should make it easier to find online matches to join, whether it’s with your friends or with random players.
The developer says the update is coming “soon.” Blizzard Entertainment is releasing a cross-play beta that will let PC and console gamers play in matches together. Overwatch launched in 2016, but it’s getting a significant feature soon.
