With the release of Overwatch 2, you can now transfer your in-game items like Skins, Gear, Cosmetics, etc. from the original Overwatch.

In this guide, we have detailed all there is to learn about how to easily Transfer Skins in Overwatch 2.
If you are on a console, you will need to merge your ‘Accounts’ in order to Transfer Skins to OW2. To begin, you need to follow the steps detailed below:
- First, you need to launch Overwatch on your console.
- You should be able to see a QR code and a 6-digit code displayed on the screen.
If you have got Battle.Net app on your smartphone, you can simply scan the QR code. Alternatively, just enter the 6-digit code at Battle.Net. - Once that is done, you will need to log into Battle.Net with your credentials. If you do not have an account, setting one up takes about 2 minutes.
