Overwatch Conducting Beta Test Weekend Nov 20-23

Overwatch will conduct a Beta Test Weekend from November 20 through November 23, Blizzard Entertainment has announced. According to Blizzard, it will begin flagging accounts for the Beta Test Weekend during a scheduled maintenance on Thursday, November 19 in order to give players additional time to download and install the beta client so they’re ready to go once servers go online on Friday, November 20 at 9:00 AM PST / 12:00 PM EST. The Beta Test Weekend will end on Monday, November 23 at 9:00 AM PST / 12:00 PM EST.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t an open beta and not everyone will get access to the test. If you’re selected, you will see an Install button appear in the Overwatch tab of your Battle.net desktop app as well as an Overwatch Beta license in the “your game accounts” section of Battle.net account management.

During the Beta Test Weekend, players will have access to the full roster of 21 heroes and a limited selection of maps including Hanamura, King’s Row and Watchpoint: Gibraltar. Although it is mainly a stress test on the servers, Blizzard is interested in players’ technical feedback as well as their experience with the beta servers, critical bugs and other game-impacting problems.

If you’re interested in checking out Overwatch, make sure you’ve opted-in for the beta on your Battle.net account.
