Im Verlauf des heutigen Abends wurde auf der offiziellen Internetseite von Overwatch eine sehr interessanter neue Ankündigung der Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment veröffentlicht, die die Spielerschaft dieses Titels darüber informieren sollte, dass sie vom 09. September 2016 bis zum 12. September 2016 ein Gratiswochenende für die Konsolenversion dieses Hero Shooters veranstalten werden. An diesem Wochenende können die Besitzer einer PS4 oder einer Xbox One diesen Titel vollkommen kostenlos herunterladen und ihn einige Zeit lang auf ihrer jeweiligen Konsole ausprobieren.

Dabei stehen den an diesem Gratiswochenende teilnehmenden Spielern dann die 22 in Overwatch vorhandenen Helden, die 13 unterschiedliche Spielfelder, alle Spielmodi (Quick Match, Brawl, Eigene Spiele) bis auf den gewerteten Modus, das Fortschrittssystem mit den Lootboxen und die Heldengalerie mit den kosmetischen Belohnungen zur Verfügung. Wer sich nach dieser kostenlosen Testphase dazu entscheidet eine richtige Version von Overwatch für seine PS4 oder einer Xbox One zu erwerben, der darf seinen während dieses Wochenendes erreichten Fortschritt sogar behalten und muss nicht mit einem frischen Account erneut von vorne anfangen.

Alle weiteren Informationen zu diesem Gratiswochenende findet ihr in folgendem Blogeintrag der Entwickler von Overwatch.
