Overwatch 2 guide: How to connect Battle.net and Twitch to receive drops

Overwatch 2 is one of the most anticipated shooters that fans have been eagerly waiting for. This brand new spin-off will bring a host of new characters and rework that were missing from the first game.

Players who have previously registered for the closed beta version of the game already own the game. To help others try out the game, Blizzard Entertainment has provided another way to gain access using Twitch Drops.

There may be gamers unfamiliar with the system, so this guide will help them connect their Battle.net account to Twitch to gain access to the Overwatch 2 beta.

Guide to connecting Battle.net to Twitch for the Overwatch 2 beta

The procedure for linking both accounts is quite simple and can be done in a matter of minutes. Here are the steps to link a Battle.net and Twitch account: Step 1: Users must go to twitch.com or open the Twitch app to begin the connection procedure.

• Step 2: After doing this, users will need to log into their Twitch account using the correct credentials.
• Step 3: After logging in, users should go to the 'Settings' tab and look for the 'Connections' tab at the bottom. Under this tab, there will be many platforms where users can link their Twitch accounts. However, users should only search for Blizzard Battle.net for the purposes of this guide.
• Step 4: Once found, users need to tap the 'Connect' button and log into their Battle.net account by providing the relevant credentials. If the correct credentials are used, users will log into their account and successfully link their account to Twitch.

If users wish to disconnect their Battle.net account from their Twitch account, they can do so at any time by going to the 'Connections' section in 'Settings' and selecting the 'Disconnect' option.

How can players get the Overwatch 2 beta from Twitch Drops?

To get Overwatch 2 beta access as a drop, fans can tune in to any stream with game drops enabled and watch that stream for a while. If a fan experiences a downgrade from the stream, they will receive a notification on Twitch about the reward they received.

After receiving the drop, they can use their Battle.net clients to install the Overwatch 2 beta on their systems and enjoy them during the testing period.

Overwatch 2 will be available for free to all players who purchased the previous game on their account. As for the release date, it is not known when the sequel will be released, but after the beta testing is completed, a release date can be expected from Blizzard Entertainment.
