Have you grown out of your current BattleTag? Want to change your Overwatch username but cannot see any option within the game to do it? This tutorial will show you exactly how to change your Overwatch username and how to come up with a cool new one.
Overwatch has to be one of the best-balanced team shooters on the market right now. If you’re okay with cartoony graphics and can play nicely with others, this 6×6 objective shooter has some of the best fast access action of any game around right now.
It’s a Blizzard game released three years ago and is still as popular now as it was when first launched. It’s one of the few shooters I have ever played that isn’t dominated by snipers or shotguns and has a place for every kind of player. With a great cast of characters, some imaginative maps, excellent weapons, and effects, this is still the game to beat and is second only to Apex Legends (in my opinion).
If you have been playing since the beginning, you may think it’s time to change your username. This is how you do it.
The main issue with changing your username is that you don’t do it in Overwatch, you do it in the Blizzard portal. As this is a Blizzard game, it uses the convoluted and frankly, unnecessary Blizzard account portal on its own website. There is another rub too: you can only change your BattleTag once for free and then have to pay for the privilege.
After a few minutes, your change will be reflected in Overwatch and you will be able to play under your new username.
As mentioned, you get one free change, and then it costs money to do so. After your free change, you’ll have to pay $10 to change it again. This has to be one of the most annoying monetization efforts imaginable because it costs Blizzard absolutely nothing to let you change your name, as the mechanism is already in place. This is just an arbitrary charge to make money out of you.
You have a lot of competition for cool usernames in Overwatch. Some of the best names I have ever seen in a game have been there so coming up with something new is going to be tough. That said, with the right application of imagination you could come up with something in no time.
I always suggest planning ahead for gamer names. We always need them for the next game so planning ahead and keeping a list of the coolest ones you see is always a good idea. A notepad beside the computer, a digital notepad on your phone or device, Post-It notes, or whatever. Just use something to record cool words or names to use as inspiration. Then you can pick and choose something as soon as you need it.
Coming up with your own username for Overwatch will produce a much more satisfying result than copying someone else’s.
While no longer updated that I can see, the Twitter account @Reapernames was purely set up to track usernames. Reapers often have the coolest names and this is where to find some of the best. Most will already be taken obviously but you can use them as inspiration to put your own twist on a name or particular word you see.
Who doesn’t check Tumblr whenever they want to be entertained? This Tumblr site tracked Overwatch usernames for a while. The owner stopped posting for ages and then picked it up again. There are a ton of old usernames on this page, and some may now be free, or you could use others as inspiration. Either way, there are some good ones here.
Game name generators are a real mixed bunch. Some are really good while others are just lame. I tend to use a couple for most games if I cannot see anything on my name pad I like. I tend to use SpinXO or Jimpix but there are lots of other decent name generators out there.
Changing your username in Overwatch isn’t the most intuitive process. Most games allow you to do it from within the game (for free), but Blizzard games use your BattleTag across their entire range of games so you have to do it there. As you only have a single free name change, you need to think hard about what you change it to. At least now you have a few ideas of how to come up with something cool.
How do you come up with your usernames? Tell us about it below!

How To Merge Your Overwatch Console And PC Accounts

By Cody D. Campbell / Aug. 17, 2022 8:16 am EDT
" Overwatch 2 " is almost here and many fans have been surprised to learn that it isn't coming out in addition to the original " Overwatch ," but rather is replacing it . The transition is bringing a lot of new features, such as story missions and the new PvP map-type called "Push," but it's also trying to keep all the things that made its predecessor great. Blizzard is also making an effort to ensure that its players are going to be able to keep their old skins, sprays and various other items. This means that "Overwatch" players will be able to start "Overwatch 2" with all of their swag still intact. New generations of consoles have come out between these releases, however, and many fans who have been sticking to their old PS4 or Xbox One in order to keep their profile might want to be able to play this new game on a new system. PC players may also want to be able to move their information to a console, for example
Well, there's good news! It seems that Blizzard has enabled cross progression for "Overwatch," letting players transfer their profiles across systems. This allows those upgrading to new systems to bring their account information with them, and may also be handy for those who like to go back and forth between playing on a PC in one room and a console in the other, or perhaps even using a Nintendo Switch when playing on the go. Here's how to merge PC and console accounts.
Blizzard Entertainment has written a FAQ about the new feature where to explain how it works. Merging accounts isn't as complicated as it might seem, but it will require all players to link their profiles to a Battle.net account. This is Activision Blizzard's official gaming network and having an account is required to play "Overwatch 2," whether players choose to merge their old accounts or not.
Many players may find that their "Overwatch" account will automatically be linked to their Battle.net account if they already have one. If an account was not automatically linked, players need to log into their "Overwatch" account on the specific system that they're looking to link. They should now automatically receive several on screen prompts at login, culminating in one telling them to scan a QR code using a mobile device. There will then be a code displayed on the console that can then be used to create or connect to an existing Bettle.net account. Only one account per platform can be merged, so players will have to choose which account they want to use if they have more than one on a single device.
Blizzard has also linked an Account Link Common Problems support article for those who encounter errors while attempting to link their accounts.
