It’s official, Overwatch Cross-Play is now live and this enables players to battle together across platforms, all powered by the latest global Battle net update. All players will need to make a Battle net account and link their appropriate console accounts. However, Cross-Play is automatically enabled for PC players. In celebration of this launch, everyone player logs in to Overwatch by the end of 2021 will receive a Golden Loot Box. Read more for two videos and additional information.
Simultaneously launching with Cross-Play is the limited-time Ashe’s Deadlock Challenge. Players can take part in 27 games to score a new Legendary Ashe and B.O.B. skin, but don’t let that number scare you, as winning a game counts as two matches played. Plus, you can watch Overwatch on Twitch to earn some new sprays.
When Ashe is arrested yet again on the morning of her high school graduation, her aloof, old-money parents decide to disinherit her from the family fortune. To steal back what’s rightfully hers, Ashe teams up with her omnic butler, B.O.B., and local ruffian Jesse McCree for a series of heists, catapulting the trio into a game of fast money and dangerous alliances. Along the way, Ashe discovers that family isn’t just about blood. It’s about the people who’ve got your back when your back’s against the wall,” said Blizzard.
