Overwatch is ending its operations after six years. In its place, Overwatch 2 will continue the story. Despite several production flaws and moments of uncertainty, the game is a lot of fun. The free-to-play release of Overwatch 2 is scheduled for October 4.

It should be noted that the only people who will be allowed to pre-download it are those who have already played the game and those who purchased the OW 2 Watchpoint Pack. Those that are new must wait until launch.
On October 4, around noon Eastern Time, you can begin downloading Overwatch 2 in preparation for preinstalling it on your PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch.
