Play Overwatch free from today until next week

What are your plans for this week? Well cancel them, you can play Overwatch free from November 21 (today) until November 27.

You’ll be able to level up and earn loot boxes, and your progress during the trial saves if you decide to shell out for the full game.

If you haven’t tried Overwatch already, now’s your chance to check out what is arguably the most popular team-based shooter in the world.

Overwatch Free Weekend

In the Overwatch free weekend, you’ll get to enjoy all 29 heroes across all 26 maps, including Ashe, the brand new hero just released last week.

The greatest thing about Overwatch is that it attracts all sorts of players with a variety of styles and gaming backgrounds. It includes trategy game players, MOBA support players and more. 

Those looking to flex on the enemy team with their superior positioning, support players looking to keep their team alive and aim gods who land endless headshots, there’s something for everyone. What’s more, the characters have rich personalities, diverse abilities and style.

Pre-loads are already available across PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One so there’s no real reason to not give it a shot.

If your friends are anything like me they’ve been hounding you to jump on Overwatch with them. It’s no secret here at Power Up! We love Overwatch, with Season 2 of the Overwatch League just around the corner, it’s time to try the best team shooter ever made.
