Overwatch Update 3.13 is live
Blizzard Entertainment came out with the Overwatch 3.13 update. This update finally brings the cross-play option. This means that even if you are a PC player, you will be able to play with your friends on Console or vice-versa. But you should also keep in mind that this feature is currently in the Beta phase. Which means that you may encounter bugs and errors.
”Cross-Play is now here, allowing players on different platforms to group up and play Overwatch together! All console players are required to make a Battle.net account and link it to their console account. Everyone who logs into Overwatch by the end of 2021 will receive a Golden Loot Box to celebrate.” Says Blizzard Entertainment about a cross-play feature that came out with the Overwatch update 3.13. You can check out below to learn how to enable the feature:
