When the OW2 initial beta launched, literally millions of people were lining up to play it. They got in, had a great time and then it was gone. Many wondered when it would be coming back, as the dev team had already stated it would. Now the answer has finally been given and fans will be happy to know it is sooner rather than later. Here is how to do the Overwatch 2 Beta Sign Up and when the next beta will start.

While many fans have been excited about Overwatch 2, there has been a lot of debate about the game and the beta specifically. Was it a true OW2 beta or more of an Overwatch 1.5 beta? With only one new hero, a new mode and a few maps, all of which were already known, the previous beta certainly didn’t feel like all of Overwatch 2.
Luckily for fans, this next beta will feature the newest tank hero, Junker Queen. She finally makes her way to Overwatch after years of anticipation. Initially, it seemed as though players wouldn’t get to play her until early October. Now the devs have changed that and she will release with this next beta.
Also, OW2 PVP is going to be free-to-play. It would seem as though only the story mode will cost anything. To offset this, the latest trailer made it seem likely that gun skins, gun charms and more were making their way into the game.
As for the actual next beta date, the next Overwatch 2 Beta will begin on June 28 and players can sign-up to try and get a spot on June 16.
How to Sign Up
On June 16, 2022, players will be able to officially sign up. Here are the steps.
- Go to this website.
- Make sure to login to your battle.net account.
- If you don’t already have one, make a battle.net account.
- Scroll to the bottom and hit the sign up button on orange.
Until June 16, the website will not give players the option to sign up. Do also remember that just signing up does not guarantee beta access. If someone is not picked initially, there is a good chance they will have streamers giving away codes again on Twitch for people who watch them. Last time players only had to watch for four hours to get access.
