Do i install overwatch 1 to play overwatch 2?
Be aware that you do not need Overwatch 1 or the Watchpoint Pack to play Overwatch 2 – the sequel is free-to-play but does require a linked phone number on a unified Battle.net account though, so you'll need to set up SMS protect for Overwatch 2 first.

Will overwatch 2 be the same as 1?
Overwatch 1 and Overwatch 2 have different graphics, especially when it comes to hero and weapon models. Most maps have either gone through a complete Lighting rehaul with their time of day being changed or have gone through slight revamps, instead.

Does overwatch 2 transfer data to overwatch?
Overwatch 2 features Cross-Progression between your Console and Battle.net accounts. This requires the data from both Console and Battle.net to be merged. You will soon be prompted to either confirm that your correct Console and Battle.net accounts are linked, or to link your accounts if they are not already.
