For those who have not boarded the Overwatch train yet, don’t worry. Your time is coming soon.ย Blizzard’s hugely popular, vibrant team-based shooter is going to be free to play during the weekend of November 18-22 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

During these dates, players will have access to the whole lineup ofย Overwatchย heroes, including fan favorites such asย Tracer, Mei, and Mercy. The game’s new hero, Sombra, however, will not be playableย during this free period.

People who download the game for the free weekendย will alsoย be able to play through all of the game’s thirteen maps and several modes of play, including Quick Play, vs. AI, and Custom Games. Should playersย want toย actually purchaseย Overwatch after theย free play weekend is over, rest assured thatย any level ups, achievements, or loot boxes that wereย acquiredย during the trial will transfer over.

While this upcoming weekend is great for people who have yet to play the game, there is still aย slightย catch. Downloading Overwatchย won’t be as simple as going into the PlayStation storeย and adding it to your queue. To completely playย for free, you must first have PlayStation Plus, or an Xbox Live Gold membership, depending on your respective console. Those participating online will haveย to have their Battlenet account.

The free weekend will begin at 11AM PT /2PM EST on November 18, and according to Blizzard, the game will take up 12GB. That may sound like an inconsequential amount of space right now, but given some of the other games that will be released before the 18th (not to mention the ones you undoubtedly have on your consoleย already), you should give yourself time to plan your storage managementย accordingly.
