will i keep my skins?

[Adventure skaut]

i had OW1 on battlenet before it became F2P, before OW2 etc and i invested quite a bit of money into it, but i gave up on the game sometime around 2019
if i install it through steam, will i be able to log into my old account and keep my old skins?

Will most probably require the same kind of authentification what EA and Ubisoft games require. That the steam page will open up your Battlenet app and you start the game just as you would normally. In your already existing profile.

But all skins you got in OW1 carried over to OW2....i mean OW0.5
If you loved OW1 i doubt you will enjoy this one.

A battle.net account is required, which your skins are tied to so you'll be fine.
