Guide to link Battle.net to Twitch for Overwatch 2 beta

The procedure to link both accounts is quite simple and can be done within minutes. The following are the steps to link a Battle.net and Twitch account:

• Step 1: Users have to go to twitch.com or open the Twitch app to begin the linking procedure.
• Step 2: After doing so, users have to log in to their Twitch account by using the correct credentials.
• Step 3: After logging in, users have to go to the 'Settings' tab and look for the 'Connections' tab under it. Under this tab, there will be many platforms to which users can link their Twitch account. However, users only have to look for Blizzard Battle.net for the purposes of this guide.
• Step 4: Upon finding it, users have to tap the 'Connect' button and log in to their Battle.net account by giving the relevant credentials. If the correct credentials are used, users will log in to their account and successfully link their account with Twitch.

How can players get the Overwatch 2 beta from Twitch Drops?

To get Overwatch 2 beta access as a drop, fans can tune in to any stream that has game drops enabled and watch that stream for a while. If a fan does get a drop from the stream, they will get a notification on Twitch regarding the reward they've received.

After getting the drop, they can use their Battle.net client to install Overwatch 2 beta on their system and enjoy it for the duration of the testing period.

Overwatch 2 will be available for free to any player who has the previous game purchased on their account. As for the release date, it is not known when the sequel might make a debut, but a statement regarding the release date can be expected from Blizzard Entertainment after the conclusion of the beta test.
