Where did you see the option to merge? Do I have to get on the PC version to merge the accounts now?

Iām on ps4 and thereās no option at all for me to merge. It keeps saying thereās a login error (LC-208). Not sure what to do.
I need help! I didnāt have time to go on ow1 before it shut down, so I didnāt merge my accounts. Iām on my old pc acc now; I need to be on my xbox acc.

I logged in on PC as soon as I got notice that the game went live, almost 3 hours ago, and the first thing I did was confirm the merge. It still says that Iām āin queueā for the account merge. At this point, Iām just planning to have a TV night and see if itās done tomorrow, because my Watchpoint Pack is attached to the console account, so I donāt have access the battlepass right now. (Also I keep getting disconnected, so that seems like itāll be frustrating.)
On the main menu, at the very bottom below āChallengesā, I see an option called āAccount Mergeā. I clicked on that on my PC account and confirmed the merge from there. It now has a bright yellow badge next to it that says āIn Queueā.
I also see the option on the menu in my PS4 account, with the same badge. I donāt know if it would have appeared if I hadnāt initiated from the PC side first, but it sure seems like it ought to.
FWIW, Iāve seen the āShopā option in the main menu appear and disappear a couple of times, so maybe thereās something weird going on with how the menu is populated?
When I logged into my console account, after initiating the account merge from the PC side, I noticed that I only had the cosmetics from my PC account available, except the only player icon that showed as unlocked was the default grey OW logo from 2016. I also didnāt have any of my controller settings. I think this is because Iāve basically logged into the PC account and the console account stuff is inaccessible until it is merged, but I have no idea why none of the player icons are there. I have a good number unlocked that I can see from the PC side.

Itās not giving me the option to merge, Iām freaking because I donāt want to lose all my progress since 2017, and all the limited edition skins I got. Plus I got the waypoint pack on my old account. I donāt know what to do, I keep pressing merge account but itās not letting me

Old Switch player trying to move my progress to my Xbox One S and I donāt see any option to merge accounts on the Xbox One S. No longer have access to the old Switch but I have both my Nintendo account and Xbox account connected on Battlenet and I have no clue what else to do.

I signed up for the OW2 beta on ps5, when i logged in I was on my old ps4 account thatās level 200+ and has a good amount of money invested into it. I have logged into the main game today, on my ps5, and my playstation progress has vanished and been replaced by my PC account which i have hardly played on.
My PSN is linked to my Battle.net but i do not see any option to merge accounts or whatever it should say on the ps5 . I hope my level 200+ PSN save hasnāt been replaced with my level 9 PC save.
Any advice?

I am so sad because my progress disappeared too. Started playing on ps4 and now I am on ps5. I waited for 2 hours to finally get in Overwatch after a year and imagine my disappointment after I saw that I had absolutely nothing. Skins, progress, everything is goneā¦ I did not keep up with the news and saw the post about account merging 10 min ago. Am I completely screwed or is there a way to restore my old account? I really hope there isā¦

Is your account linked together already?
You canāt merge 2 different console accounts. Merge is only for console and pc together.
Iāve linked my PlayStation account to my Battle net account but i didnāt merge in ow1, when I logged into ow2 on the ps5 all my items were gone, is there a way to fix this and have my account merged?

Iām trying to figure out the same thing but find ossifiedtoad replies in this thread because that could help you
Didnāt get the memo of needing to merge before OW2 came out. Now the merge account option doesnāt select is that a bug or will I have to start all the way over in OW2? Both ow1&ow2 have
same battle.net login and on same console
