Overwatch 2 finally comes out today, October 4. After several false starts and delays, the servers go live today at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT, and you can pre-load it now on every platform.

Arguably one of the most anticipated games of the year, the sequel to Overwatch was first announced back in BlizzCon 2019. However, despite its lengthy development cycle--longer than many thought it would be--the game that launches today isn't quite the full experience, as it only includes its revamped 5v5 PvP modes.

It is, however, free-to-play, and it does not include the (in)famous lootbox model of its predecessor. Also, you'll need to link a phone number to your Battle.net account in order to play it, so make sure to get that taken care of sooner than later.
