Getting Twitch Drops in Overwatch 2 is not exactly a tricky thing to accomplish, as all that players will be required to do is link their Battle.net account to their Twitch account. Players who have done it before for Overwatch 1 may already be aware of the process and will have to do it again in Blizzard's sequel.

To connect the two accounts, players will be required to:

  • Sign in to the Battle.net account which they use to play Overwatch 2, and then make their way to the Connections page of the Account Settings on the website. They will need to scroll to the bottom to find an entry for Twitch. Clicking on the Connect button will automatically take them to the Twitch site.
  • Here, players will be required to sign in once again and confirm their details. It’s important to fill in the right account credentials, as players will be forced to wait for seven days if they wish to swap in a different account. Afterwards, players will need to go through all the confirmation pages, which will include the ones taking them back to the Battle.net site.
  • After Twitch Drops are set up and enabled for Overwatch 2, getting drops and cosmetic loot is something that players will easily be able to do. Every time that there is an event, fans will simply need to tune in to watch Twitch streams of the game, and they will get drops based on their view time.
  • Currently, players will be able to get Kiriko’s legendary skin and the voice line “I take care of my friends” from October 7, 2022, to October 16, 2022, at 11:59 pm PT. Obtaining the former requires a watch time of at least six hours, while the latter requires two hours.

  • Additionally, between October 17, 2022, 11:00 am PT to October 24, 2022, 12:00 am PT players will be able to get the Razor Sharp Kiriko spray for two hours of watch time and the Donut weapon charm for five hours of watch time.

It’s important to note here that after earning the Drops, Overwatch 2 players will be required to claim them. They will need to click on their profile icon in Twitch and make their way to Drops, where they will be able to locate all the items to be claimed under the Inventory tab. After this, the items will then reflect in their game account within 24 hours.
