In *Overwatch 2*, your in-game nickname is tied to your Battle.net account, known as your BattleTag. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Every player can change their BattleTag for free once.
• Subsequent changes come with a fee, costing $10 in the U.S. Check the Battle.net Shop for your region's specific cost.
• If you play on Xbox or PlayStation with cross-platform play enabled, the name change process mirrors the PC method.
• With crossplay disabled, you'll need to change your name through Xbox or PlayStation settings.

Changing Your Nick on PC

For PC players or those on consoles with cross-platform play enabled, follow these steps:

1. Visit the official Battle.net website and log into your account.
2. Click on your current username in the top-right corner.
3. From the menu, select "Account Settings" and scroll to your BattleTag section.
4. Click the blue pencil icon labeled "Update."
5. Enter your new desired name, adhering to the BattleTag Naming Policy.
6. Click the "Change Your BattleTag" button to finalize the change.

Your new BattleTag will update across all Blizzard games, including *Overwatch 2*. Note that changes might take up to 24 hours to reflect in-game.

Changing Your Name on Xbox

For Xbox players with cross-platform play disabled, your in-game name reflects your Xbox Gamertag. Here's how to change it:

1. Press the Xbox button to access the main menu.
2. Navigate to "Profile & System," then select your Xbox profile.
3. Choose "My Profile," then "Customize Profile."
4. Click on your current Gamertag and enter your new name.

1. Open the console settings and go to "Settings."
2. Select "Users and Accounts."
3. Go to "Accounts," then "Profile."
4. Find "Online ID" and click "Change Online ID."
5. Enter your new name and confirm the change.
