The Overwatch account merge feature allows players to combine their progress from different platforms, but it has a significant limitation: you can only merge one account per platform, and console accounts can only be linked to one Battle.net account at a time, meaning you cannot merge more than two accounts into a single account, one from a console and one from a PC, but not multiple accounts from the same platform or type. This means that if you have multiple Overwatch accounts on the same platform, such as two accounts on Xbox or two accounts on PC, you will not be able to merge them into a single account.
