Custom Games, Quick Play, and the Arcade are all open to free players. Overwatch’s Competitive Play mode is only open to players who’ve purchased the game.

Players that choose to buy Overwatch during or after the free weekend will be able to keep any progress they’ve made, as long as the same Blizzard, Sony, or Xbox Live account is used.

The free weekend will begin Nov. 17 at 11am PT and end on Nov. 20 at 11:59pm PT across all regions.
