Do you want to play Overwatch 2 with friends on other platforms? If you're playing on a PC, this feature is always enabled. You'll just need to add any console friends you want to queue up with. Keep in mind that you cannot play Competitive modes cross-platform. This How.com.vn will show you how to enable crossplay in Overwatch 2 on your PC.
Things You Should Know
- While you can't crossplay in Competitive mode, you can still do so in Quick Play, Arcade, and Custom games.
- Crossplay is enabled automatically. If you want to play with someone on another platform, you can add them as a friend.
- To add friends, go to "Social" → "Add Friend" → enter their BattleTag. Select "Send Request".
Steps
Adding Friends
- Launch Overwatch 2. You can download Overwatch 2 on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch.
- Select Social. This will be below Battle Pass. You can also select the two-person icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Add Friend. This is the orange button next to your online status.
- Enter the player's BattleTag. This is the same as the player's Overwatch name. If your friend is on console and doesn't know their BattleTag, they can hover over their name in the top-right corner of the Overwatch 2 menu screen.
- A BattleTag will look like: Username#0000.[1]
- Select Send Request. This will send the friend request to the player. When they accept, you'll see them in the Friends tab of the Social page.
- To add them to your party, select their username, and then select Invite to group. Your next game will be cross-platform.
