Overwatch Free To Play Weekend Coming This Month

By Jonathan Leack

Chances are you already own a copy of Overwatch. But in case you don't, you're in luck.

Blizzard has announced that in just over a week Overwatch will be free to play across all platforms. The event will run from November 18th to the 21s and there will be no strings attached.

​During the event all heroes, maps, and game modes will be available. All progress will be saved until the day that you may decide to purchase a full copy of the game.

Major new content is coming to Overwatch around the same time as this event, which will most notably include a new character. Named Sombra, she's already become a fan favorite on the public test realm.
