This week Blizzard Entertainment proudly announces that they will host a “Free Weekend” of free gameplay of a signature game. The game that will be accessible for gamers to play is the popular team-based shooter Overwatch. The “Free Weekend” event is from November 18th through the 21st. Players will be able to try various game modes in Overwatch including Quick Play, Custom Games and more. They’ll have access to all 22 heroes and 13 maps. And if the game is so good that you want to purchase it, Overwatch can save your game progress during the event and you can continue afterward when you buy it.
To enjoy free Overwatch gaming during the “Free Weekend” you’ll need to have either a PlayStation 4, Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC. PlayStation users need a PlayStation Plus membership. Xbox One users need to have an Xbox Live Gold membership. And lastly Windows PC owners only need a Battle.net account and the Battle.net desktop app, if you don’t have one then you can easily register a new account and freely download the app. No need for any special codes, keys or sign-ups.
