Overwatch 2 Multiplayer Explained

In Overwatch 2 the Crossplay system is managed through Battle.net friends. To add friends across platforms: Access the "Social" menu, click on "Add a Friend" and enter their BattleTag in the form of: username#1234. Voice chat works across all platforms, but Discord is recommended when possible. In mixed parties, if a console player groups with a PC player, the entire party enters PC lobbies for all modes. Console players can opt into PC pool by partying with PC friends, except for Competitive lobbies, where consoles and PC are separated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all platforms play Overwatch 2 together?
Yes in Quick Play and Arcade modes. However, Competitive mode separates console players from PC players for balanced matchmaking.

Only if they're on the same platform type. Console players (PS, Xbox, Switch) compete together. PC players compete separately.
