Blizzard Announces Free Weekend Dates for Overwatch

May 17, 2017 by Nick Biazzo

Thanks, Blizzard!

Overwatch

Blizzard has revealed that Overwatch will be getting another free trial weekend later this month. The free trial weekend will begin on May 26 (11 AM PT) and will run through May 29 ( 11:59 PM PT) for PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

Unlike last time, this free weekend for Overwatch will allow new users access to all 24 characters and a handful of modes, including Custom Matches, Quick Play, and the Arcade. New players will also be able to level up and earn learn loot boxes during the free trial period.

Also worth mentioning, those who decide to purchase Overwatch after the free weekend will be able to carry over any progress made during the free trial period, as long as the purchase is made on the same account used during the free weekend.

The free weekend is open to everyone, as long as console players have an active PS Plus or Xbox Live membership. PC players will need to have a Battle.net account to join in on the action.

Will you be playing Overwatch for the free weekend? If so let us know in the comments below. For more gaming coverage, be sure to stay right here at Gameranx.
