Beginners guide for Overwatch

Welcome to the battle for the future! We have prepared a brief guide for those who are new to Overwatch with Open Beta. First, let's look at how to install and run the game.

[PC version]

Sign up

If you have not yet created a Battle.net account, please register here first. If you have played other games of Blizzard in the past, you can enjoy the over-watch with your existing account without registering as a member, because Battle.net account is an integrated account of Blizzard.

The Battle.net Account Creation Guide gives you more information on how to join Battle.net!

Install Battle.net app

If you are new to Blizzard games, you may feel strange how the game is installed and launched via the Battle.net app, the Blizzard unified launcher.

Once you install the Battle.net app, you can easily play all Blizzard games with a single login, and you can automate the process of installing and patching your game.
