'Overwatch 2' players can now get old gear from the old game

Ahead of the October 4 launch of Overwatch 2, Blizzard is giving players of the original Overwatch game a chance to get their old items. You get an opportunity to merge separate accounts to get all the in-game cosmetics or gear you've collected alongside the progress you've made. If you have multiple accounts on the same console, though, you can only merge one account. You can unlink a console account from your battle.net account, but you won't be able to add a new console account for an entire year. Here's a complete step-by-step on how to do that.
