Overwatch has been a pretty huge game for over half a decade now. This has been followed up by tonnes of events, new characters and so much more. In an attempt to further invigorate the franchise, Overwatch 2 is set to release soon. Here's how to sign up for the Overwatch 2 PVP beta.
When is the Overwatch 2 PVP beta?
We finally have a start date for phase 2 of the Overwatch 2 beta, which kicks back off on June 28th!
Overwatch 2 beta signups for this phase will open up on June 16th, and with the beta now landing on new platforms, that means it's time for players on PlayStation and Xbox consoles to join in the fun.
The second phase of the Overwatch 2 beta builds on content from phase 1, but also adds the following:
- A new tank hero named Junker Queen
- A new map
- Cross-platform multiplayer
How to sign up for the Overwatch 2 beta
To sign up for the beta, you first have to go to the official sign up page. Form here, you can click "Opt-In Now", where you will be brought to the bottom of the page. Click to sign up and it will make you log into your Battle Net account
If you don't have one, you will have to sign up for one. Fortunately, this is pretty easy and quick to do.
Overwatch 2 beta signup issues
Some have been reporting issues with signing up for the beta in phase one, and while many of these have cleared up since, it's likely some may return for phase two.
Once signups unlock, if you're having problems on the site, give it a little time and then refresh the page again. It should eventually sort itself out. Lots of players will try to sign up for it, more with new platforms involved, so it may take a little while to get everyone in.
