[PS4/Xbox/PC] Overwatch - Free to Play Weekend 23-27 August 2018

150

Instructions to join the free for play found here.

From August 23–27, we're calling on all prospective agents: assemble your teams and dive in during the Overwatch Free Weekend on PC, PlayStation®4, or Xbox One!

For this free weekend, we're making Overwatch's full roster of 28 heroes—along with the newly released Wrecking Ball—and 18 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the Arcade. Players will also be able to level up, earn seasonal Summer Games Loot Boxes, and unlock a variety of different customization options for their heroes. Plus, if you decide to purchase Overwatch after test driving the game, you'll get to keep any progress that you made during the weekend—just be sure to use the same Blizzard, Xbox Live, or Sony Entertainment account that you played on.

The Overwatch Free Weekend will run from August 23–27. All Windows PC users with a Blizzard account will be able to download and play Overwatch for FREE during this period—no special keys or sign-up codes needed!

    Knowing good ol' Aussie internet most of us might be able to get an hour or two of free play after waiting most of the period for the download to finish.

    They must be getting desperate having so many free weekends. Certainly isnt worth the asking price for such an old game thats also full of loot boxes.

    • lol so true, especially the wait time on the pc as on the xbox it took max 1 minute maximum to find a game on solo queue but on pc it 1 minute minimum

  • I wish they would make it free to play

    • to encourage hackers/aimbotters?? Making it cost provides a barrier of entry for low quality hackers to get banned and punished. Maybe in 3-5 years time but not yet.

      • Not in the case of a game like CSGO.

        • when I bought csgo it was like $3.50, when it got popular steam never did such sales again, the minimum price is like $7.50 which shows even valve understand the link between pricing and cheating.
