Before you get ready and binge-watch Overwatch 2 streamers, here are a few prerequisites prior to claiming your Twitch Drops:

  1. You should have a Twitch account.
  2. You need to integrate your Battle.net account integrated or connected to your Twitch account.
  3. You have to watch a certain number of hours from streamers (with drops enabled) playing Overwatch 2. This doesnā€™t have to be a single streamer, so if your favorite Twitch Icon stopped streaming, you could switch to another player whoā€™s playing Overwatch 2.

The last step is now to watch your favoriteĀ streamers on Twitch. Usually, it takes about six hours to get all the rewards, sometimes more. Remember that the streamer has to be playing Overwatch 2 and has Drops-Enabled. You can usually see this on the streamerā€™s title (most of the time, they indicate that drops are enabled) or beside the Overwatch 2 tag.

After you have racked enough hours, head over to your Drops and Rewards menu, which is under your account. Click claim on the rewards (usually hero skins and other in-game cosmetic items), which should appear in-game in Overwatch 2 within 24 hours. Note that when you change your Twitch password, you must reconnect your Battle.net account, or else the drop will expire within seven days.
