Those who did happen to buy Overwatch in the past, though, will be able to net themselves some goodies when logging into Overwatch 2 for the first time. This means that anyone and everyone will be able to download and play the game for themselves, which is quite a major departure from the previous Overwatch. Additionally, unlike the original game, Overwatch 2 will indeed be a free-to-play title.

This means that the downtime between Overwatch and Overwatch 2 will only have been a little bit more than 24 hours in total. The multiplayer sequel's servers are specifically going to go live at 12PM PT/3PM ET. As we previously knew, Blizzard has reaffirmed that Overwatch 2 is set to release in early access tomorrow on October 4th.
