Download Overwatch now and play for free for the entire weekend

Overwatch free

Been eyeing up Overwatch but not quite sure whether its cartoony style of competitive shooter will click? Now’s your chance to try it out, as you can spend the entire weekend with McCree, Widowmaker, Junkrat and co for precisely no dollars.

From November 18-21, you’re free to mess about with Overwatch’s full roster of 23 heroes and 13 maps, which you can play in a variety of modes, from Quick Play to Custom Games, and the even latest Weekly Brawl.

You just won’t be able to play Competitive, but that’s probably a good thing – those folk take Overwatch very seriously.

You’ll still have the ability to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock a variety of different customisation options, though, so you’ll probably get sucked in via that world-class feedback loop. If you decide to buy the game after, you keep all the goodies.

The free weekend is live now, and it ends November 21 at 4:00 p.m. PT (23:00 UTC). You just need to create a Battle.net account and you’re away.
