Overwatch is offering a free trial for the duration of the holiday period, starting from today and finishing up after New Year's on January 2. Like previous free trials, players who haven't yet bought the game will have access to the full roster of 32 heroes, 28 maps, and all the game modes currently on offer.

Players who take part in the free trial will also be able to progress in the game as usual, including leveling up, unlocking customization options, and earning Loot Boxes in play, and will keep any progress they make if they choose to purchase the game using the same account used for the free trial.

The trial will be available for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, with PC players requiring a Battle.net accoun, Xbox players requiring an Xbox Live Gold membership, and PlayStation players needing PlayStation Plus to take part.
