How to change your Overwatch 2 name for free

When you create a Battle.Net account to play all Blizzard titles ⁠— not just Overwatch 2 ⁠— you get one free name change, and you’ll need to do it on Blizzard’s website.

For a detailed guide on how to do this, follow these simple steps below:

1. Go to Blizzard’s Battle.net website here.
2. Now, log into your Battle.Net profile.
3. Click on Account Details.
4. Next, scroll down to the BattleTag section.
5. Change your BattleTag to what you like.
6. Confirm your choice, save it, and go forth and game with your fresh-faced name!

Just remember, your first name change is free. Any subsequent indecision that causes you to give yourself another makeover will not be free! In fact, it will set you back a hefty $10, so make sure you think twice about your free name change.
