    Go to your Battle.net account details. You must do this via the web browser by going to account.battle.net/details and signing in.

    • With the release of Overwatch 2, users across all platforms use their Battle.net account to sign in to the Overwatch servers. Even if you don't play on PC, you will need to use your computer or mobile browser to change your Overwatch 2 name due to this change.

    This will be next to your BattleTag with a pencil icon.
    • Your first BattleTag name change will be free. Every subsequent change will cost $10. If you don't see the Update button and instead see Purchase BattleTag Change , you've already used your free name change and must purchase another.

    You can make your BattleTag anything you like (as long as it follows Blizzard's naming policy), as they don't need to be unique thanks to the number discriminator tag that is added to your BattleTag. [1]
    • In order to change your Overwatch 2 name, you must change your BattleTag. This will also change your name in other Blizzard games.
    • To adhere to Blizzard's naming policy, BattleTags must be within 3-12 characters, cannot start with a number, and must not be offensive or discriminatory as per the Blizzard Code of Conduct. [2]

    This will apply your new BattleTag, though it may take up to 24 hours for the name change to be reflected in all of your games. [3]
