Overwatch has a free-play weekend coming up for those five gamers out there who don’t yet own the game — at least if they’re willing to play on console. Yes, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will be able to jump into Overwatch for free from September 9th to 12th. In a blog post on the official site today, Blizzard writes,
“For this free weekend, we’re making Overwatch’s full roster of 22 heroes and 13 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the latest Weekly Brawl. You’ll also be able to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock different customization options via the Hero Gallery. If you like what you see and decide to buy Overwatch: Origins Edition, you’ll also get to keep whatever progress you made during the weekend.”
Do note that Xbox Live Gold is a prerequisite for those who want to play from that platform. PlayStation Plus isn’t. Check out the official site for the complete minute-by-minute, country-by-country chart to see when exactly you can get in there for free.
