Overwatch is in need of even more heroes! For one weekend, anyone with a console will be able to try out Overwatch in all its glory. For free!

Do you own a console and have yet to try out Overwatch? Or have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to play Overwatch on console versus PC? Then you’re in luck. Blizzard is making the weekend of September 9-12 free on Playstation 4 and Xbox One. During this weekend, you will be able to try out the FULL game. This includes for example all 22 heroes and the 13 existing maps. Along with this, you will be able to level up and earn loot boxes. There's also a sweet treat if you after the weekend decide to buy Overwatch: If you get the Origins Edition, you will get to keep any progress you’ve made during the free weekend. (This includes the xp and levels you’ve gained, as well as loot boxes and any customization items.)

When:

Starting September 9th at 8pm CEST/11 am PDT, ending at September 12th at 1 am CEST/4 pm PDT

How:

You will need an Xbox One with Xbox Live Gold, or a Playstation 4, no Playstation Plus required. (However, it is needed to play the full version of Overwatch.) For download instructions, see Blizzard’s official post here.
