If you don't already own Overwatch but are keen to take a look and see what all the fuss is about... time to rejoice!  Blizzard have announced that the game will be having a free weekend on November 18th to 21st on ALL platforms.

This is no restricted access either... Overwatch's full roster of 22 heroes and 13 maps available for play in a variety of modes and you will have the ability to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock a variety of different customization options, all of which will carry over should you decide to buy the game (although progress is, understandably, platform specific).

Blizzard have even been kind enough to provide a table showing the exact times the free weekend with start in your region and exactly how to install the client in time for the weekend (below).  For all other information relating to the free weekend, take a look at the Overwatch blog post here: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20372506
