Xbox One players, you’ll need an Xbox Live Gold membership.

As for PlayStation 4 players, an active PS Plus membership is required. If you’re on PC, you’ll need a account in order to install the game. If you’ve been on the fence about Overwatch because you’ve never tried it out then now’s your chance to decide if this game is worth your time! Image via Blizzard Overwatch will be made free-to-play but only from 22-25 September. This event will be available on all platforms (PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One). But that’s not a reason not to seize this opportunity! If you don’t know what I’m talking about there here’s the rundown: And that’s because Blizzard has pulled these Overwatch free weekend quite often. This event might look very familiar to you. If your interest is in any way piqued, you can find more details on the Overwatch website.Try Out Overwatch For Free On All Platforms! It's not a lot more complicated on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, but you will need to have a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold membership to participate - so you could, I suppose, quibble the use of the word 'free'. To play for free on PC, you'll need to download the desktop app, register an account, and install the full game.

If you choose to get stuck in, you'll be able to earn Loot Boxes, unlock various customisation options, and level up - and you'll be able to keep any progress you've made over the weekend, should you decide to purchase the full game after the event is over. It will include all 26 heroes and 16 maps, available in Quick Play, Custom Games, and the Arcade. The Overwatch Free Weekend, to give the event its wildly unimaginative official name, will run from 7pm on November 17th to 7:59am on November 21st in the UK - that's 11:00am PT on November 17th until 11:59pm PT on November 20th in North America.

You'll be able to download and play Overwatch for free next weekend on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, Blizzard has announced.
