hi, i already have my drop and acount linked but i dont have nothing on the launcher or in other place, could hoy help me? i have it since 4 pm mexico.
If it does not show up in a hour give or takes, start a ticket with Blizzard CS.
Please wait up to an hour before the beta access is seen on your account.
20-30 Minutes after claiming the drop, I could install now.
After claiming, in your launcher under the “Overwatch” tab you have a drop down menu titled “Game Version” - here you will have “Live - Overwatch” (everyone) and “In Development - Overwatch 2 Tech Beta” (after your drop got claimed and you got beta access to your account).
With Overwatch installed it is ~13.6GB that have to be installed on top (doing that right now).
It is totally unacceptable how this is being managed about the beta.

Well, 30 minutes have passed and still no beta on launcher for me.
This reminds me why Blizzard is failing as a company.

I FIXED IT. watch someone who has drops enabled for a bit longer, and wait for the notification about your drop being ready.
Oh boy… the original “30 minutes” is changing to an hour after claiming a drop…
That doesn’t look good.
We were forced to watch some random stream for 4 hours, many of us which are in Asia, we have to do this from 2AM, and here we are at 6AM finding that maybe we will end up having to send a ticket to blizzard, because the system is broken…
Good times…

Yes, I knew this was going to happen and we were going to be left without the beta, the treatment they give us is inadmissible.
- Check if your account is CONNECTED to twitch.
- Watch 4 hours (starting now is too late…).
- Check your NOTIFICATIONS on twitch. You will get a notification that will require you to CLAIM your drop (actively clicking on it…), AFTER THAT it is 20-30 minutes, then you can install in the launcher.

Hey folks,
Drops access should be rolling out to folks . If you’re not seeing the client, you can try to relog in the Battle.Net launcher.
Please be patient, making sure everyone gets their beta access may take a bit of time

Do you have any recommendations for what to do about the “Error Occurred Drop not claimed” issue that some of us are getting?
I’ll check with the team, but it’s possible the login servers are under a high load right now

Will the promotion end on 9pm est on the dot? My partner will be at 3 hours and 50 minutes at that point.
check my reply to your other comment, i was able to find a fix
Are you serious? I won’t even bother to give an actual answer.
I had my bnet account connected, but i changed my name a few months ago and didn’t relink the accounts after the name change. am i going to get the drop? i relinked the accounts now, and twitch says i’ve claimed the drop. it isn’t showing in the bnet launcher. do i just need to wait longer?
awesome ty trying that now
