Overwatch Free Weekend for PS4 and XBOX ONE


So Blizzard is having an Overwatch free weekend right now from 9/9-912. Xbox One owners with an Xbox Live Gold and PS4 owners will be able to download and play the game during this time. "The free period will begin on September 9 at 11:00 a.m. PT (18:00 UTC) and end on September 12 at 4:00 p.m. PT (23:00 UTC) in all gameplay regions." (PlayOverwatch)

Instructions to download the game on each console

          For PS4:
Step 1: Turn on your PlayStation 4 and log in to your preferred local user.   
Step 2: Go to PlayStation Store and select "Search" from the top menu.   
Step 3: In the search field, type in "Overwatch."  
Step 4: Select "Overwatch Free Weekend" from the search results and then click "Download."   
Step 5: Once the download and installation process is complete, click "Start" to begin!

FOR XBOX ONE: 
Step 1: Turn on your Xbox One and log in to your Xbox Live account.   
Step 2: Go to the Xbox One Store, then select "Search."  
Step 3: In the search field, type in "Overwatch."  
Step 4: Select "Overwatch: Origins Edition Free Weekend" from the search results and then click "Free Trial."  
Step 5: Once the download and installation process is complete, click "Launch" to begin! 

This is pretty cool news. I feel like a big portion of Overwatch players are console players, although I myself would only want to play the game on pc. I just prefer aiming with a mouse and keyboard. This will bring in more players who just haven't found the time or need to try out the game. This will give those people the opportunity to try it out and if they like it they might buy it and get into it. If your a console user you should definitely give it a whirl!
