Other Call of Duty: WWII beta/Overwatch free weekend/month

[Night Hunter]

Call of Duty: WWII will get a PC beta on September 29, and the good news is you won't have to preorder to get access – anyone can jump aboard. It'll run for a whole weekend before wrapping up on October 2, and it'll take place on Steam.

 

According to Sledgehammer Games in their announcement, the beta is designed to stress test "core gameplay systems and online backend infrastructure at scale". It's also designed to give PC users a hands-on period with the game while the studio goes about its business fine tuning and optimising.

 

Here are the minimum required specs, but these won't necessarily apply to the full game, Sledgehammer warns. Recommended specs are still forthcoming.

 

OS: Windows 7 64-Bit or later

CPU: Intel® Core™ i3 3225 or equivalent

RAM: 8 GB RAM

HDD: 25 GB HD space

Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 @ 2 GB / AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 @ 2GB or better

DirectX: Version 11.0 compatible video card or equivalent

Network: Broadband Internet connection

Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Blizzard, having apparently decided that there are not yet enough people playing Overwatch, is making the game free for everyone over the weekend of September 22-25. The freebie will include the full roster of 25 heroes, 16 maps, and access to modes including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the Arcade, and any progress earned will carry over to the full game if you decide to pick it up.

 

The free period will begin at 11 am PT/2 pm ET on September 22, and wrap up at 11:59 pm PT on September 25. If you don't already have it, you'll need Battle.net to play, which you can grab here. Alas, it will only be playable in the Americas, Europe, and Asia—excluding Korea, for some reason—so if you live in Antarctica I guess you're out of luck. Details on the Overwatch free weekend (although really, what more to do you need to know?) are up at playoverwatch.com.
