Now, if you’re sittin’ there all frustrated ’cause your Overwatch Twitch drop skin ain’t showin’ up, don’t you worry, I gotcha covered. Been there, done that, and let me tell you, it ain’t as complicated as it seems—just gotta do a couple of things right.
First thing’s first, sometimes it takes a bit of time, like a whole day even, for them skins to show up in the game. Yup, that’s right—Twitch says it could take up to 24 hours before your stuff appears in-game. So if you just claimed your skin, just sit tight, have a cup of tea, and wait for it to pop up. You might not see it right away, but it’ll come.
Did you claim it properly on Twitch? Now, a lot of folks get confused ’cause they think just watchin’ a stream and claimin’ the drop means it’s automatically goin’ to their game. But nope, you gotta make sure you hit that “claim” button over on Twitch first. If you ain’t done that, then no skin for you, honey! Ain’t no use in waitin’ around if you forgot that step.
But hold on, there’s more. If you’ve been messin’ around with your Twitch account lately—like maybe you reset your password or somethin’—then you might need to unlink and relink your Twitch account to your *. Yup, it’s a bit of a hassle, but sometimes these things get disconnected, and you gotta give ‘em a nudge to make sure they’re talkin’ to each other properly. Once you do that, relaunch your game and, hopefully, there’s your shiny new skin!
Still not showin’ up? Here’s what else ya can try:
- Go to your * account and check your connections page. If somethin’ got disconnected, just reconnect it.
- Sometimes it helps to completely log out of both your * and Twitch accounts, then log back in again.
- If that don’t work, try restarting the game after you’ve done all that fiddlin’ with your account settings. Sometimes the skins just need a little kick to show up.
Now, if you’re on Xbox and launchin’ the game through the Xbox App, well, that can mess things up too. It seems like if you open Overwatch 2 through Xbox, then close it and open it back up through the * launcher, you might lose those Twitch skins for a bit. The fix for that is simple: just launch the game through Xbox again, and the skins should pop up.
What if your drops show as claimed but still ain’t there? Well, don’t panic. It happens sometimes. You gotta make sure you’ve clicked that “Claim” button over on Twitch and that you’ve gotten the notification sayin’ your rewards are ready. If you don’t see that, then there’s a chance something went wrong. You can always check Twitch again to make sure your drops are properly claimed. And, if you’ve been waitin’ a while, check your game after a good restart.
At the end of the day, all these drops—whether it’s skins, voice lines, or sprays—are a little tricky to get right sometimes. But with a bit of patience, and maybe a few tries here and there, you’ll get your skins, no doubt about it!
