As a reminder, Overwatch 2‘s next PvP beta begins June 28, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Signups are still open here. The full game comes out on Oct. 4, 2022, for every platform mentioned above, along with the Nintendo Switch.
The first beta left some feeling cold, so hopefully, the significant changes Blizzard made since then improved things.
