Attention, recruits! If you haven't already had the opportunity to suit up and save the world as one of the heroes of Overwatch, now's your chance.
From May 26–29, we're calling on all prospective agents: assemble your team and dive in during the Overwatch Free Weekend on PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One!
For this free weekend, we're making Overwatch's full roster of 24 heroes and 14 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the Arcade. Players will also have the ability to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock a variety of different customization options.
Plus, if you decide to purchase Overwatch after test driving the game, you'll get to keep any progress that you made during the weekend—just be sure to use the same Blizzard, Sony Entertainment, or Xbox Live account that you played on.

Why don't they just lower the price and give us a good deal instead. We all know it's a good game already!

I don't. I know it's well hyped, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'll enjoy it. A chance to try it for free sounds like an excellent idea!

I think they have some One Year Anniversary deals. I remember seeing special loot box editions but these will probably cost extra. There were discounts for the Chinese New Year event I imagine it will be the same for the 1 year celebration.
If you don't have a blizzard account already or don't mind having a separate one for Overwatch the overseas stores are cheaper. I bought mine on an Argentinian account last August for around 20 quid(a tip from here :)) and have been playing on EU servers ever since.

Have to be careful lowering the price. It enables more cheaters to buy themselves more copies. You can tell when there's a CS:GO price cut because you get another influx of cheating ****s.

Hope somebody posts this nearer the time also as I will definitely forget! Been wanting to see what all the hype was about for a while.
