The latest Overwatch 2 PvP Beta has been well received since its arrival – albeit with some grumblings surrounding fan-favourite hero tweaks.
It has an official release date of October 4th and pre orders for the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint pack already available for purchase.
As you may have heard, the game will feature a new free-to-play model, with Blizzard scrapping the old model to seemingly increase player count.
When will the Overwatch 2 Beta end?
The Overwatch 2 Beta was originally set to end on July 18th, 2022.
However, an extension has been brought into play that sees the game extend its Beta runtime by 24 hours.
That means the Overwatch 2 Beta will now end on July 19th, 2022, at 2PM EST, 7PM BST, 11AM PST.
Looking through some of the web’s biggest forums, it’s clear that many people won’t be returning to Overwatch 1 in the meantime – showcasing the success of Blizzard’s latest character-based game.
