Blizzard released the first PvP beta of Overwatch 2 last month, allowing fans to experience the new 5v5 game mode for the first time.

Overwatch 2 beta registrations will open on June 16th, but it is unknown how many players can participate in the beta. Players on PC as well as on Xbox and PlayStation can sign-up.
