The Free to Play Weekend for Overwatch Is on Now
Have you been sitting on the sidelines while everyone else enjoys Blizzard’s popular team based shooter? Well, no longer because this weekend you can join in on the action for Overwatch! To celebrate the recent update, Blizzard is giving everyone the opportunity to play the game, at least for a couple days anyways.
Just a few days ago Blizzard released a new update where they added the Junkertown map to Overwatch and made some big changes to two of the heroes. Now, it looks like they want to open it up for everyone to be able to play around with the re-works for both Mercy and D’va. Not only is this a free to play weekend, but the best part is that is available on all platforms. That’s right, Overwatch is free for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC all weekend long!
This free weekend began earlier today, at 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST and will end at 11:59 PST/ 2:59 EST on Monday, September 25th. If you’re wondering what you’ll be able to play this weekend, it’s everything from Quick Play and Arcade, to Custom Games, however if you’re looking to play competitively, it’s not available in this free to play weekend. Just a reminder that players will need to have an Xbox Gold or PlayStation Plus membership in order to jump into this free weekend.
