Overwatch free to play on September 9th

Blizzard released Overwatch to much acclaim a few months back and millions of players have already dived straight into this online team based shooter.

If you're not one of the horde nows the time to get a taste with a free weekend kicking off on the 9th of September. It's coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and will offer a chance to play as all 22 characters across every single one of the 13 maps currently available.

A variety of modes including Quick Play and the latest Weekly Brawl will be on offer and you're free to level up and customise your characters. Of course you can keep this progress if you go ahead and buy the full game, which is what these free weekends are all about.
