On PC, gamers will also be able to purchase Overwatch at a discounted price, with the game costing £12.99 on Battle.net while the game’s Legendary Edition sells for £16.99. All player progress will be maintained if players purchase Overwatch, and Blizzard has confirmed that all item unlocks from Overwatch will be available in Overwatch 2 when the game releases.
Overwatch’s free weekend will end on December 4th, with the trial of the game’s console version requiring access to Xbox Live Gold (on Xbox One) and PlayStation Plus (on PS4) to access the game. This is due to the multiplayer-only nature of Overwatch. On PC, all gamers need is a Battle.net account.
On the Blizzard eShop, PSN and Xbox Live, Overwatch will be available at a discounted price until December 2nd. The game will not be available with a discount on Nintendo Switch during this time.
