Overwatch 2 is one of the most popular multiplayer games, though many people choose to matchmake with unknown players rather than play with a pre-established group. This creates the perfect opportunity to make new friends while playing.

Overwatch 2 is ramping up its 2023 content. Blizzard just revealed a new map arriving with Season 3 in February, and have hinted at the next hero potentially being a support. Furthermore, Overwatch's World Cup is happening right now, and the game's much-anticipated PvE campaign mode could also be coming soon. It's the perfect opportunity to jump into the game with friends.

How to Accept Friend Requests on Overwatch 2

Accepting friend requests in Overwatch 2 is a fairly simple process. Within Overwatch 2, you just have to navigate to the "Invitations" tab where any players who sent you friend requests will appear. Click the check-mark icon and the request will be accepted! You can also accept friend requests through the Battle.net client, and whenever a friend launches a game like Overwatch 2, you will be notified.

Playing with friends and finding new ones is one of the core elements of Overwatch 2. The highly team-focused gameplay means players who are coordinated and communicative will succeed, encouraging the formation of new and lasting friendships.
