Overwatch 2 Twitch Drops will allow you to unlock in-game items, just by watching your favourite streamers, and right now you can get some unlocks for new Hero Kiriko. Most importantly, you can get the Legendary Sukajan Skin, which puts Kiriko in a more casual blue varsity jacket, but you can also get the Razor Sharp Spray and a Donut Weapon Charm. To get these, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got a Twitch account linked to your Overwatch 2 Battle.net account. If you’re not sure how to get that all set up, we’ve got the details below on Overwatch 2 Twitch Drops.
How to set up Twitch Drops for Overwatch 2
To get Twitch Drops set up for Overwatch 2, you need to have a Battle.net account that you’re currently using to play the game (or one that’s linked to a console account via Overwatch 2 account merging) and a Twitch account. Even if you’ve previously linked your Twitch account to your Battle.net account for Overwatch 1 Twitch Drops, you’ll need to re-link them to be eligible for Overwatch 2 drops. With those accounts ready, here’s what you do:
1. Log in to your Battle.net account, go to your Account Settings, and then go to your Connections.
2. Click the ‘Connect’ button next to Twitch under the Connected Accounts section.
3. Click ‘Continue’ to be taken to Twitch where you’ll need to log in to your Twitch account.
4. Now click the ‘Authorize’ button. Doing so will take you back to Battle.net
5. Back on Battle.net, you should see your Twitch account ready to be linked. 6. Click ‘Continue’ to complete the process.

Overwatch 2 Kiriko Twitch Drops
Linking your accounts in Battle.net will let you add friends on other platforms for Overwatch 2 crossplay.
With your accounts linked, you’re ready to get some Twitch Drops. The Overwatch 2 Kiriko-themed drops are split across two time periods, so you’ll need to make sure you watch the requisite number of hours of Twitch streams in both periods to get all the unlocks. Any Twitch stream within the Overwatch category is eligible to get you the in-game items, but you must be watching on a PC/Mac web browser or on the Android/iOS app – console and smart TV apps don’t support Twitch Drops!
If you don’t meet the requirements to get these items during the Twitch Drop periods, don’t worry as there are other ways to get them. The voice line can be unlocked in the Hero Gallery for Legacy Credits and the Sukajan skin, the spray, and the Donut charm will be available to unlock in the gallery from season 2.
