by

As a seasoned gamer with a knack for collecting unique skins and a soft spot for Overwatch 2, the recent integration of Xbox Game Pass has sent my heart aflutter! The opportunity to earn exclusive rewards by linking my Overwatch account to an active Game Pass subscription is like striking gold in the gaming world.

One major draw of Overwatch 2 lies in the vast array of unique skins available for customizing your preferred heroes and antagonists. Given that it operates under a live-service model, the commencement of each fresh Competitive Season typically introduces a new batch of these aesthetics. These cosmetics can be obtained through various means such as the seasonal Battle Pass, Overwatch Shop, event Challenges, Twitch rewards, and many more.

By September 2024, “Overwatch 2” is set to join Xbox Game Pass. To commemorate its arrival, gamers have a short window to collect a range of in-game prizes by associating their “Overwatch” account with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. If you’re curious about the steps to link your accounts, the duration of this offer, and the rewards that come with completion, all necessary details can be found in the guide provided below.

The chance to collect benefits by connecting your Overwatch and Xbox Game Pass profiles is temporary. To claim these incentives, players must finish the necessary steps before November 11, 2024. This ensures a hassle-free process, with the rewards successfully added to their account and Hero Gallery.

Apart from wrapping up all tasks by November 11, 2024, players should verify that the Game Pass plan they’ve chosen qualifies for the Overwatch rewards. Below you’ll find the eligible plans:

  • Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
  • Xbox Game Pass for Console
  • Xbox PC Game Pass

As a gamer, I’ve found myself in a situation where I snagged a Game Pass plan on a sweet discount or trial. It’s always important to verify my eligibility and maybe consider upgrading to the full price for these deals, just to be sure I don’t miss out. Some fellow gamers under similar circumstances have shared their experiences of not receiving their rewards upon completing the game when they were on a discount or trial version.

How to Link Overwatch and Xbox Game Pass Accounts

  1. View the Battle.net Account Connections page and log in to your account.
  2. By Xbox Network, ensure your Xbox Account with an eligible Game Pass subscription appears. If the correct account is already linked, you will automatically receive the rewards, as long as an active subscription is linked.
  3. If no account is linked, click the +Connect button to link your account for the first time.
  4. If the wrong Xbox Account is linked, you can switch to a new one, as long as it has been more than 1 year since the accounts were linked. Click Disconnect, and then Click +Connect and enter the correct account to replace the old one.

Any player who manages to connect their “Overwatch” account with Xbox Game Pass by the specified deadline will be rewarded with a collection of six unique character skins that they can keep permanently.

Beyond this, players can expect an initial reward of 30 Mythic Prisms, which they can use freely on Mythic Skins, Mythic Weapons, or Mythic Aspects. To add to that, as your Xbox Game Pass subscription persists, you’ll gain temporary access to a selection of hero skins from the Overwatch Shop that were previously paid, originating from the last three seasons of the game. These skins will automatically appear in your Hero Gallery and can be equipped. They will rotate with each new Competitive Season.
