Overwatch Closed Beta Wraps Up Next Week

This article is over 9 years old and may contain outdated information

Blizzard has announced the ending date of the Overwatch closed beta.

The Overwatch beta will come to an end on Monday, April 25 at 10 AM PT. Blizzard announced the date in a blog post on the official site. They also posted a new video that shows what the team will be working on from now until launch, and thanks beta participants for their help. It also teases some of the post-launch content that’s planned for the game.

There will be one final open beta for Overwatch held May 5-9 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Those who pre-order the game by April 29 will get into the beta on May 3. Unfortunately, none of the progress made in the closed beta will carry over to either the open beta or the live game.

Overwatch is set to launch on May 24 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
