Overwatch is actually a game you need to buy to play. However, to celebrate the anniversary of the hero shooter, Blizzard is offering you a free weekend where Overwatch will be Free2Play. For 4 days, Overwatch will be available for free on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Unfortunately, Overwatch is not a Free2Play game, and those who want to play it must first spend money. However, Blizzard is being generous for the upcoming one-year celebration of the game and allowing you to play Overwatch completely for free over a weekend.
Overwatch for a Weekend Free2Play: When does the free Overwatch start? When does it end?
From May 26th to May 29th, you can download the game for free on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and play it without spending any money during the specified time.
In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland the event starts on Friday, May 26th at 20:00. From then on, you can play the game on your preferred platform: PS4, Xbox One, or PC.
The event ends on Tuesday, May 30th at 8:59 AM.
During the free weekend, you will have access to all Overwatch features:
- You can play all 24 heroes from Overwatch
- All 14 maps are available to you
- All game modes are playable
- The upcoming Overwatch anniversary event is also included
After the free weekend ends, you need to buy Overwatch if you want to continue playing. However, your progress during the free trial period will remain, as will the rewards earned. The free weekend is perfect for getting a taste of Overwatch and then deciding whether to spend money on it or not.
