If you have already used your account’s free Battle.Net name change, you’d need to fill a ticket for Blizzard support before Nov. 5. Here’s how you can do that.
- Head straight to the Battle.Net support site and file a ticket.
- Go to Overwatch > Account > Free BattleTag change request.
- Get your free change request. This could take about four weeks to process.
- You can change your BattleTag for free when your request is approved.
The next step involves going into your Battle.Net profile to change your name for free.
- Log into your Battle.Net profile.
- Go to Account Details, and scroll down to the BattleTag section.
- Change your BattleTag and save.
Even if you do not want to change your Overwatch name at the moment, it is a good idea to take advantage of the promotion and get a free name change request for the future. However, it is worth mentioning here that you shouldn’t stockpile free name change tokens.
