How to get legacy credits in Overwatch 2?

Overwatch 2 launched with a bang and captivated immense proportions of First Person Shooter fans worldwide. Blizzard Entertainment has released its new title as a free-to-play game, which is one of the main reasons for players flocking to Overwatch 2.

One of the changes that they will notice is the change in currency. Blizzard's new title has Overwatch coins. Currently, legacy credits are extremely rare and should not be spent on things immediately.

Let us take a look at how players can get legacy credits on their Overwatch 2 accounts.

Two kinds of currencies exist in Overwatch 2. One is the current Overwatch coin system that has replaced the former Overwatch credit system. It is currently not possible for players to directly gain any Legacy credits.

Legacy Credits are basically the Overwatch Credits that players have in Overwatch. If they have any currency left in the previous title, it will carry over to the sequel. This is labeled as Legacy Credit in the game, with the name suggesting its old currency system.

This is why players cannot get any more legacy credits since it is the older currency in Overwatch. If they have no remaining currency added to their Overwatch account, there is no possible method to own any of it.

Players must make sure that they use the same account in the Battle.net client that they previously used to access Overwatch. The Credits should then automatically carry over to the new title with the name Legacy Credits.

Players may face some difficulties as the servers are facing issues considering that it is a freshly released game. However, the leftover Overwatch currency will definitely be transferred and might just take a while, if not immediately.
