Does Overwatch progress carry across platforms?

Hi there,

Unfortunatly cross-platform data sharing is currently not possible in overwatch even with the same battle net account.

However this has been realised by the devs and this feature may be coming soon.

Go to https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....ssion-sharing-between-xbox-one-ps4-and-pc.htm

for more info.

Hi Whiteleaf2012

Unfortunately no.

Here is an extract from an article I found:

"Overwatch has a huge player base across different platforms, and some of those have more than one platform to play it on.

However, the player's progress is not transferable to another platform. Players will not be able to pick up in PC from where they left off in Xbox One, for example. Apparently, this problem is big enough that
the developers have thought about enabling cross-sharing between PC and console.

"It's something we would very like to explore," said Jeff Kaplan, Blizzard's lead
designer on Overwatch.

"It's very challenging for many reasons, and I won't get into all the details as to why, but I think it's a very valid desire that our players have and it's something that the Overwatch team would
love to figure out."

Kaplan did not share when the Overwatch
feature could be coming nor did he promise that it will be arriving at all. He did say, though, that they will continue to work on it and make it happen if they can find a way to overcome the challenges of getting cross-sharing to work.

If it does happen, it will benefit players who won't have to level up different accounts anymore. It should also allow the transfer of items, such as loot and skins, from PC to console."

I've played a tonne of OW on PC and unlocked just about everything. If I buy the game on Xbox, does that stuff all carry over? Like, do you have to log into your Bnet account? Or do you start from scratch again?

As far as I know, the game doesn't not support cross-progression yet.

It seems that Blizzard is working on it, but at the moment you have to restart from the beginning.

Level progress does not. There are a few things that do, such as event skins/twitch donation skins and any donated skins/profile icons (such as Mercy's Cancer support). Individual skins that are unlocked through the game are not carried over.

It doesn't. However, think they've been looking into it. I'd have all your Battlenet info ready for when the day comes though, because that might be the easiest for them to link progress when they do.
