Overwatch is a massively popular game from Blizzard. Now, its gamer base will have the chance to extend even more: an Overwatch free weekend is on the horizon!
Overwatch free weekend is coming soon!
Overwatch is one of the best shooting games in the industry. The online first-person shooter, despite having quite a high price (base price is $40, $60 on consoles), has achieved massive success for its developer and publisher, Blizzard. Now, Blizzard has decided to give players an Overwatch free weekend, that any players can play without having to pay a cent. This is great news for anyone who wants to try out this game first, as they can freely play the game for the whole weekend now.
The Overwatch free weekend will apply to all platforms, which means you can play on PC, PS4 or Xbox One. The free weekend will start from November 18 at 11AM PT and last until November 21 at 4PM PT. During this period, players will be given full access to all the game modes, like Quick Play, Custom Games, or the Weekly Brawl, with all 13 maps and the full 22-hero roster. Sombra, the newest hero, will not be available for this free period. You will be able to level, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock items, but if you want to save your progress, you will have to buy the game later. You can check the start time of the free weekend below.
The download size of the free weekend game will be about 12GB, and you will need PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold to play on consoles. For PC, you need a Battle.net account. Basically, you just have to search for the game. On PS4, search and select “Overwatch Free Weekend” and download. On Xbox One, search and download the “Overwatch: Origins edition”. On PC, click the Overwatch icon while inside the Battle.net desktop app, and choose to install. Wait until download and installation finish, and enjoy the game!
