Overwatch 2 Twitch Drops Not Working or Showing Up?

We’re working with Twitch to troubleshoot and enable drops as planned. With the holiday break though it’s likely to take us some time. We apologize for the inconvenience and will let players know when drops are enabled.

The section below is related to the last time players faced the OW2 Twitch drops not working issue and the reason behind the same:
The community manager of Overwatch 2 has addressed this problem and the update is that they have finished investigating reports for players who have claimed the beta drop but haven’t received access to the game yet. But there’s one thing you should confirm beforehand – is your Battlenet account linked to your Twitch account? In case you are new to this series or to Battlenet in general, you will have to create a new account. And if you haven’t already, create a Twitch account because it will help you get drops for some other games as well. Don’t forget to link your Twitch account to your Battlenet account too.
This is a compulsory step if you want to receive the Twitch drops, but if you have already done it, wait it out. Many have waited up to 5 to 6 hours for the access, but are still waiting. Remember to avoid disconnecting and reconnecting your Blizzard account because that will lead to further delay.
Don’t worry, though, because you will get in sooner or later. The devs and community managers are keeping an eye on various threads on the official Blizzard forum to ensure that players get in and have the chance to play the PvP.
