BATTLENET OVERWATCH SKIN
If you play 27 matches, you'll unlock a legendary skin for Ashe and B.O.B. Read official updates for Overwatch, including game news, patch notes, and developer messages. If you are returning to the game to check out crossplay, you'll also run into Ashe's Deadlock Challenge, a new event that runs from June 22 to July 5. That said, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox players can come together through crossplay for Competitive matches. PC players will always be matched with other PC players.
Given the control and speed advantages that a mouse and keyboard bring, Blizzard isn't uniting PC and console for ranked matches. Complete cross-platform play is allowed in Quick Play, Arcade, and Custom matches, but Competitive brings a major roadblock for the PC crowd.
PC players can jump into crossplay immediately, but console players will first need to connect to a account to enable this new feature.
Overwatch crossplay going live allows players to team up and compete against one another on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch platforms. You should never need an excuse to play Overwatch, but Blizzard delivered a great one today: Cross-platform play is now live.
