Try closing and reopen or turning off where you are playing it, that's is how I got it to work for me after it reset and then the cross migration should pop up
After I waited a while it’s says my account is ready to merge and tells me to close the game but when every I close and reopen it nothing happens. I’ve tried waiting while my game is closed but nothing works.
Did any of you, before entering Ow2 (that is, even when ow1 was still alive) move your console account to another battlenet account? (Either to pass the confirmation sms with a number of your country or something) And if so, has the account migration confirmation message started to appear repeatedly? In addition to not having the skins or your saved data.
Update: If you don't get the Military Doomfist and Joker Shadow skins, then you should be concerned, as it's likely you won't get your skins back. Fortunately, all this can be fixed. If you have done what I explained in the previous comment, I have an easy solution. Return your console account to the battlenet account it was once linked to, that way ow will detect your data and return it to you This should be possible, as old battlenet accounts no longer use SMS protect, so there should be no problem starting.
I was able to get passed the confirmation to merge my PS account. It says to exit the game and it takes less than a minute for the merge to be completed. I waited and went back into the game and the merge status is still stuck in queue and the same message keeps popping up. what am I doing wrong :D
I connected my Ps account to my Battle net account before the release of Ow2 but it didn’t got transfer too and when I want to cut the connection and reconnect it it says I will have to wait 365 days till I can connect it again.
Wait what? My Xbox account already has everything on it in overwatch 1. And I want to play overwatch 2, but I don’t have anything in overwatch 2, did I do something wrong?
The same happened to me. I had an icon of Dva in OW1 and when popped the original Xbox account for merge suddenly the icon just stayed as the default icon. So now I'm afraid if I did something wrong.
I got my account to transfer on my playstation even though I didn't have a battlenet account till overwatch 2 came out. I created a battlenet account and followed the intructions said in this video. Make sure your console is linked to your battlenet account even if the account was made today. If Overwatch 1 has been played on your console or any platform that's all that matters. Once you link your account on battlenet you just restart your overwatch 2 until it tells you if you'd like to merge your battlenet account (with the platform your playing on underneath your name) and just confirm and wait in the queue :)
Thank you very much I played overwatch 1 for the longest then just stopped before u needed a battle net account so I was scared when it said I needed a battle net account to play.
well now i connected my xbox and when i try to get into the game i get stuck on the screen where it says overwatch 2 and theres just no text on the bottom of the screen where it should say like connecting or something
Quick question. Will the merge delete the skins I have on the account that I am merging on, or will the merge simply add up everything you own between both accounts ?
@@Hades-ts9pk Doesnt matter what it means, it all depends on how well blizzard programmed this merging which is why im asking. For those who wanna know, every cosmetic gets summed up and you dont loose anything.
It doesn’t tell me the number I’m in for the queue it keeps telling I’m ready for migration and to quit the game and wait a minute and when I come back it just repeats the same thing?
I left the game while it was merging and when I came back the merge queue was gone and my skins aren’t here does that mean that the merge is still going?
Do you still keep your PC skins and emotes, golden guns etc. when you merge your ps4 account to pc account or does the account that you want to link to your pc account just replace your pc account and delete all the pc skins etc. or can you have both of them?
I know I played overwatch on my Xbox and I didn’t switch consoles I always stayed on Xbox and I don’t remember having a battle net account and I made a new one and it say I can merge a accounts so I thought they got my stuff from overwatch 1 but when it say it’s complete it doesn’t even give me my stuff
@@sawyerr81 i got my skins back. just took overnight to get them also all the characters weren’t unlocked for me but those also came became unlocked just had to wait

Hi, I need help. I've played Overwatch (1) a few years ago, and had many skins, Genji Oni, Widowmaker Noire, etc. And when Overwatch 2 came, I wanted to play, when I opened up the game, I found out about this "battle net" thing, never heard of it before, so I did everything, merged, etc, and I don't have any skins, what do I do? I'm lost.
@@22tawney But that still doesn't explain how my Noire skin didn't transfer, I literally have a Add-on installed, it should still be in the game for me.
So I did exactly what this video said. I don't have any of the heroes unlocked and I don't even have that merge account option at the bottom of the main menu. What a shitty release. Congrats Blizzard
Hey I wanna ask you when you got “account merge completed” did you wait to get the skins back or what because in my case the account merge button doesn’t show after it said “account merge completed” and I still can’t get any of my old ow1 skins yet
@@aj9895 bro same thing is happening to me, it told me the merge was completed but i still have my characters locked and no skins , if something changed for you let me know pls
If you merge from console to pc some skins will not transfer like noir widowmaker. You have to submit a ticket to see if they give it back to you. They released an update to give missing skins back but some dlc skins like widow noir are still not returning.
Is there anything I can do if I accidentally merged the wrong account? It’s saying there’s a 365 day cooldown to merge a new account. That’s ridiculous
I clicked confirm on my account but when I go to the queue it doesn't say the word "confirmed" instead it says "account changed" i don't know what to do.
I don't get any pop ups telling me to hold a button to confirm. And when I go to the account merge tab it says ACCOUNT CHANGED In red when I believe it should say Confirmed any ideas how to fix that.
for me too it says account changed well I did it because I couldn't use my phone number on my account so I changed to another one then I linked my console to the new one I only have the watchpoint pack stuff and mh two genji epic skis from contenders league no heroes are locked for me
Okay I have a huge problem. So overwatch 1 was uninstalled and I cannot reinstall it because of the shutdown but if that's the only way I can merge it is this just a way of saying i lost everything I had? And yes I tried clicking the merge button on overwatch 2 but it just makes a noise and does nothing, I'm on Xbox
My battle net account was already connected to my PlayStation and when I go on Overwatch , the account merge option doesn’t show up and I don’t have any heroes unlocked or any of my skins
Having an issue where the account merge queue keeps going down to 0 then starting all over again for no reason without transferring anything. Any solutions?
This is so dope; used to life overwatch back in the day - glad to know I can keep all my old skins too. How long does a merge usually take? I've got 580000 ahead of me
If it doesn’t load for you guys, try closing out your game and restarting it. If that doesn’t work, restart your gaming device. It’ll pop up eventually
I've had my battle net account connected before overwatch 2 opened and when I attempt to hit merge on the main menu nothing happens. This is all on xbox, never played on a different platform.
damn, logged onto wrong ps4 acc, and accepted the inlog. and now when i try to take it away, it says something in the lone of "once you accept you wont be a ble to connect any other accounts for the next 365 days" any1 know if there's anything that i can do to switch accounts or did i just f upp?
I'm having problems merging my accounts. I never had a battle net account so I made one once I found out that I had no progress form the past Overwatch.

Hey question on my side here everytime games implement this it works for cross plattform but not for same plattfor but different account but i dont need that i want to transfer my ow1 stuff from one xbox account to another xbox account is that possible?? Answeres really appreciated
Still having this issue even a month later smh. I never got a prompt telling me i was put into a queue. After I held X to confirm the account merge it just told me to restart the game and then eventually the prompt just disappeared with me not getting anything.
I already merged my accounts but i don’t see any of my old stats or cosmetics??? It’s fucking bullshit I’m so mad?? Why the fuck isn’t my shit there? I did everthing correct
So I have no idea what's happening. I couldn't do anything. However I logged into Battlenet on my PC because I wanted to change my account name, and check my accounts were linked. After logging back into overwatch it told me to merge my account as soon as I got to the main menu. I think logging into Battlenet, and opening the game a few times might trigger it. You don't have to have done anything in the previous Overwatch to merge. I literally think what's happening is the merge queue is so long that it just fails to activate unless you boot the game during a good time.
I click on account merge, but it doesn’t do anything or pop up anything, it’s a bit annoying Edit: it doesn’t pop up anything when I login, no QR code or anything.
@Alice Gaming I'm honestly just glad there's so many people in the same situation. Panicked when all my shit was missing (mostly about Green Ranger Gengi 😂)
Can you do it the other way around? So I have my skins on xbox but already logged in on playstation on battlenet do I just connect my xbox? Or log out log in again on xbox and then connect my playstation acc.
i have a xbox acc that my brother uses w all my skins he has a blizzard acc already on his xbox and he merged the acc already too, i play on pc can i use that same account? by linking it through the connections thing on pc. can i still play on the acc while he is on it? can i still merge the skins even tho he did it on the xbox? do i just make a alt blizzard acc and link the xbox account or i just sign in w his blizzard acc? any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Delete ur overwatch 2 saved data in option, and play about like 2 or 3 games. The system will automatically tells u to migrate ur account. Hopefuly it'll help ur issue. Good luck bud
I played on my Xbox years ago and I also played on my pc let’s say accounts A and B. Does this make it so you get both your A and B accounts turn into 1 account, so you keep both skins from both accounts?
how do you choose a diffrent account for the connections like if it shows up with a certain account but its not your main and you want to switch it is this possible?

@@mikaelleirdal3699 did your account merge say ‘confirmed’ or ‘account changed’ because that’s happening to me
@@tinxc7647 no it just said completed, i was around 400 000 in the merge line
mine doesn't show ''confirmed'' in yellow, but it shows ''account changed' in red and my items never come
I actually did the QR scan on launch day & I forgot to do the merge account on the 1st game before it's sequel came out.
Are we screwed if we didn’t merge before?
@@kevinuribe318 I have the same issue
@@jerrylopez153 i sent a ticket of the exact problem I’m having hopefully they can restore my account fully.
@@kevinuribe318 any progression bro?
@@mikaelleirdal3699 nah bro still been playing barely my third game in and no progress I only have a couple skins not all of them and the skins I do have are only the ones I had equipped like my legendary hanzo wolf skin is there only since. I’m gonna just wait for the Email back.
Hey question on my side here everytime games implement this it works for cross plattform but not for same plattfor but different account but i dont need that i want to transfer my ow1 stuff from one xbox account to another xbox account is that possible?? Answeres really appreciated
Still having this issue even a month later smh. I never got a prompt telling me i was put into a queue. After I held X to confirm the account merge it just told me to restart the game and then eventually the prompt just disappeared with me not getting anything.
Yep me too :/
bro you’re a legend thank you I thought I lost my $1000 worth of progress
Very helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻
For me it's said my account then underneath it. It said in Red Account changed could someone help me please
Very helpful thx. Wasnt sure what exactly to do to make it happen:) well im 630.000 in queue so probably takes a day 😅👍
Yeah same here, i'm 640k now 😂
660,000 in queue
atleast y’all got in the queue, for me the button is there but it does nothing 😂 and for others the button is gone entirely from the main menu
I already merged my accounts but i don’t see any of my old stats or cosmetics??? It’s fucking bullshit I’m so mad?? Why the fuck isn’t my shit there? I did everthing correct
So I have no idea what's happening. I couldn't do anything. However I logged into Battlenet on my PC because I wanted to change my account name, and check my accounts were linked. After logging back into overwatch it told me to merge my account as soon as I got to the main menu. I think logging into Battlenet, and opening the game a few times might trigger it. You don't have to have done anything in the previous Overwatch to merge. I literally think what's happening is the merge queue is so long that it just fails to activate unless you boot the game during a good time.
I click on account merge, but it doesn’t do anything or pop up anything, it’s a bit annoying
Edit: it doesn’t pop up anything when I login, no QR code or anything.
Same with me. And everything is reset. :/
Well I’m sure this worked for most people but this just reset my progress for a 2nd time 😐👍
NEVER MIND I JUST GOT THE SIGN THAT ITS WORKING
@@Ralphbutter yo what did u do because i just "merged" it but it changed nothing
@@jackskellington232 I played a couple games then i got the cross progression sign and got out in the queue
@@jackskellington232 you mean you linked your account on the battlenet page and then nothing happened in the game right? That’s what happened to me
I did the cross progression and finished the queue but all I got was 1 skin for each character do u know anything about this
when i have something on both accounts do i still have my pc things and get the ps4 things ? or do i only have the ps4 things then
Thank you so much! Please keep us updated
Do you know if i can play the game or close the game or does the queue stop?
quite useful, thx bro
does the ps4/ps5 need to on while its mergin or can you turn it off?
I'm on xbox one and the account merge option still isn't doing anything
@Alice Gaming I'm honestly just glad there's so many people in the same situation. Panicked when all my shit was missing (mostly about Green Ranger Gengi 😂)
i cant get the cross progression is here screen 1:55
I did this and my account was merged but I got nothing from ow1 is this a bug?
do you need to have your ps4 to merge to pc cuz i remember my details but sold my ps4?
Can you do it the other way around? So I have my skins on xbox but already logged in on playstation on battlenet do I just connect my xbox? Or log out log in again on xbox and then connect my playstation acc.
i have a xbox acc that my brother uses w all my skins he has a blizzard acc already on his xbox and he merged the acc already too, i play on pc can i use that same account? by linking it through the connections thing on pc. can i still play on the acc while he is on it? can i still merge the skins even tho he did it on the xbox? do i just make a alt blizzard acc and link the xbox account or i just sign in w his blizzard acc? any info would be greatly appreciated!!
spent so much money on loot boxes on xb1. switched to pc early 2019 and was all pissy that I couldnt get all my gold weapons and had to start over.....luckily my sorrows are over now so freakin happy about this..bout gawd damn time blizzard ya fux
Does this merge your rank as well? I was masters on Xbox and already played some placements on ps5 will that change?
can i play whilst waiting for my account to be merged or do i have to wait until its merged?
Do I have to wait in game while the account is merging?
If my account is already connected but the merge hasn’t started, should I disconnect it and connect it again?
i have the same problem
you are my dad xD but for real thank you so much I was gonna be so mad if I couldn't get all my skins from overwatch 1 back since I spent $100+ so I am very happy that I now know about this praise you
is there a reason why when i click the account merge button nothing happens 😟
Delete ur overwatch 2 saved data in option, and play about like 2 or 3 games. The system will automatically tells u to migrate ur account. Hopefuly it'll help ur issue. Good luck bud
@@adilutomo thank you!! luckily when i logged on this morning it already had the 2 consoles i wanted to merge connected 💚
@@itajordi glad to hear that then, happy gaming bro... 😇🤟🏻
I pressed switch Accounts by mistake, what should I do?😩
Is there any solutions?🤧
I played on my Xbox years ago and I also played on my pc let’s say accounts A and B. Does this make it so you get both your A and B accounts turn into 1 account, so you keep both skins from both accounts?
how do you choose a diffrent account for the connections like if it shows up with a certain account but its not your main and you want to switch it is this possible?
