FULL STORY ======================================================================

Activision Blizzard is allowing you to change your Battle.net username for free up until November 5, 2021.

Blizzards announcement comes after changing the name of its fan-favorite Overwatch character Logan McCree to Cole Cassidy recently, which was previously named after lead level designer Jesse McCree who has recently departed the company after a lawsuit by the state of California.

The Overwatch developer is allowing users one free Battle.net name change, applicable to anyone who doesnt currently have a free moniker switch available.

(Users are allowed one free username alteration when the account is created, although it's unclear if this adds another 'credit' before the deadline).

After players use their free battle tag name change, all future changes will cost $10. To apply for a free BattleTag change, submit a ticket here: https://t.co/S60pWfJNxy ^JH October 23, 2021 See more
