How to Ensure Beta Access to Overwatch 2
Before the sequel officially opens later this year, gamers may get their hands dirty with the new maps, modes, and characters in the Overwatch 2 beta. If you're eagerly anticipating the game, there is a method to join the beta immediately rather than waiting for Blizzard to send you an email once you request an invite. These two methods are guaranteed to provide you access to the Overwatch 2 beta for both PC and consoles.
How to Ensure You Get into the Overwatch 2 Beta
To ensure entry into the Overwatch 2 beta, there are two methods. Buying the Watchpoint Pack, a collection of Overwatch 2 cosmetics that also comes with rapid beta access, is the quickest and easiest option. You may download and play the beta as soon as you purchase it. However, at $40, it's an expensive price to pay for beta access.
Choosing to participate in beta access via the Overwatch website is the second option. Participating players will finally have access to the beta by July 14 at the latest, even though invitations will be sent in waves, with the first wave set for June 28 and the second wave for July 5. Since this is a stress test, Blizzard intends to increase the player base throughout the beta.
What Is Included in the Watchpoint Pack?
For Overwatch 2, the following cosmetic awards and equipment are part of the Watchpoint Pack.
- Arrive in Style with two (2) Overwatch 2 Legendary Hero Skins
- Immediate Access to the Overwatch 2 Beta
- Early Purchase Exclusive: Overwatch 2 Player Icon
- Overwatch: Legendary Edition Included
- Gear up with 2000 Overwatch 2 Virtual Currency
- Get a Head Start with the Premium Battle Pass for Season 1
Right now, this is the most effective approach to enter the beta. To tide you over until the second game's release in October, you can also download Overwatch 1.
Timetable for Overwatch 2 Beta:
The Overwatch 2 beta will start on Tuesday, June 28 and last over three weeks, finishing on Monday, July 18. The beta is accessible on PC and consoles and offers complete cross-platform gaming.
October 4th is the release date for Overwatch 2 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
