overwatch-reaper-screenshot-005Are you thinking about getting your hands on Blizzard’s Overwatch but you’re unsure if you want to invest your time and money in the game? So far reviews of the game have been largely positive and the things Blizzard has been doing to improve on it is commendable, which is why we’re sure there are many who wouldn’t mind getting their hands on it.

The good news is that if you wanted to try the game before you buy the game, you’ll be pleased to learn that Blizzard has announced that from the 9th to the 12th of September, Overwatch will be free to play for PS4 and Xbox One owners. The free period will grant players access to pretty much the game in its entirety, meaning that you won’t be getting a pared down version during this trial.

According to Blizzard, “For this free weekend, we’re making Overwatch’s full roster of 22 heroes and 13 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the latest Weekly Brawl. You’ll also be able to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock different customization options via the Hero Gallery.”

If you decide that this is the game for you and you purchase a copy, you’ll be able to keep whatever progress you’ve made so far and whatever items you’ve managed to collect. Unfortunately this is for PS4 and Xbox One gamers only. It is unclear if PC gamers will ever get a free weekend but hopefully they will soon.
