Overwatch is free to play this weekend on PC, PS4, and Xbox One

4.4

If you have yet to give Overwatch a try, you can do so for free this weekend.

As part of the long holiday weekend in the US and UK, Overwatch is free to play for the duration.

If you are a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One user, you can pre-download the game now. The PC version of Overwatch can be downloaded when the event goes live.

A PlayStation Plus subscription is not required to play online, but you must be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber to take advantage.

The Overwatch free play weekend kicks off on May 25 at 11am PDT, 2pm EDT, 7pm BST. It ends on May 28 at 11:59pm PDT, May 29 at 2:59am EDT, 7:59am BST.

Timing for the weekend is perfect considering the Overwatch Anniversary event is live.

There’s the brawl of the day featuring past seasonal events, 190 Anniversary items to collect, the new Free-For-All Deathmatch map Petra and more fun that you can shake Doomfist’s, well, fist at.

It's also on sale for $40 for the legendary edition and $20 for the standard addition! I advise for yall to pick it up now while that lasts.

Silky Already have the game but it's great for those that want to try it out.

How long does it take to get used to? I'm debating on whether or not to try it because I feel like learning how to play would take too much time.

I hate free to play weekends cause I work all weekend. I'm gonna try my best to check this out because I've never played overwatch before but I've watched so much gameplay it's not even funny. It's about time to play it.
