Free up your weekend schedule and pack in those extra hours, Blizzard’s Overwatch is hosting a double XP weekend from June 8th, 5 PM PT to June 12th, 11:59 PM PT on all platforms.
The XP bonuses from the double XP weekend will stack with group bonuses, applies to time spent in matches, match completions, consecutive match completions, backfilling, victories and medals. Unfortunately, the first win of the day will not get the double XP treatment as it already earns you a hefty 1500 XP boost.
