Following its announcment several weeks ago, the cross-play beta is now live for Overwatch on Switch.

Switch players with a Battle.net account will now be able to opt in for cross-play in Overwatch, allowing them to get into matches with PC, Playstation, and Xbox players. That said, it should be noted that this beta does not include cross-progression, and that console players will not be matched with PC players during competitive matches. To commemorate this update, all players will also receive a golden loot box for free.

Cross-Play has arrived.

You can now group up with friends across the globe on PC, @xbox, @playstation and @nintendo.
