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.

We’re adding three new Arena maps to the Arcade, and unleashing more than 100 Anniversary rewards, including our largest-ever release of new Legendary skins! You’ll earn Anniversary Loot Boxes as you play, plus pick up a free box when you log in between May 23 and June 12, 2017.
