You’ll need to follow the link to the Battle.net website for the Overwatch 2 Beta. When you arrive on the page, you will want to ensure that you have access to a Battle.net account to join the beta. If you do not have one, you can create one over here. After that, return to the Overwatch 2 Beta website, sign-up on your account, and you’ll have the option to join the beta.

The Overwatch 2 PvP beta will begin on April 26. You will receive an email from Blizzard detailing what you need to do to access the Overwatch 2 beta build. In addition, you will need to have the standard Overwatch game installed. If you do not have this, you will be able to download a free trial of the game to play during the beta.

The Overwatch 2 beta will consist of five-versus-five matches, you’ll have the chance to play as the new hero Sojourn, there will be four new maps, a new mode, hero reworks for Orisa, Doomfist, Bastion, and Sombra, and an updated ping system for you to test out. The Overwatch 2 PvP beta will end on May 17, but more betas are expected to appear in the future for Overwatch 2.
