If you’re looking to get your hands on the Overwatch 2 Beta, you’ll need to link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts.
Right now, the Overwatch 2 Beta is in full flow, and players are enjoying Blizzard’s hero shooter like never before. At its core, Overwatch 2 isn’t too different from its predecessor, albeit with a few major changes.
First of all, players will now take part in 5v5 action, with just one tank per team. As such some characters are getting major reworks already in Overwatch 2!
What’s more, we’ve got a new hero and several new maps to try out, alongside the never-seen-before Push game mode.

Already, fans are starting to get invites to the Overwatch 2 Beta through their emails. But if you weren’t so lucky, you can at least get a guaranteed Overwatch 2 drop through Twitch today!

Right now, there’s a possible fix for those still waiting for their Beta invites too.
But after playing a few hours of the game ourselves, we can attest that Overwatch’s player base is still as toxic as ever in Overwatch 2.
