Perhaps you made your current name when you were nine and “xX_Qu1cksc0p3r_Xx” doesn’t exactly hold up these days. Whatever the case may be, changing a name online can range from simple to confusing. Beyond some things worth considering, changing your name on Blizzard’s latest hero shooter isn’t too challenging. Here’s how to change your name in Overwatch 2.

Changing your name on Overwatch 2 will heavily depend on your platform, though one general rule applies. You will need to change your name on your platform of choice if you want it to be something else. This makes sense on consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox where you have to do that no matter what. For people on PC, that can instead be done by changing your Battle.net name. If you play games like Hearthstone, Diablo, or StarCraft, this will change your name there too. Be sure to keep that in mind before you decide to change.If you still wish to change your name on Overwatch 2, it can be done in the following ways depending on platform.
