Now you can play until Tuesday morning.
Players who are currently enjoying the open beta for Blizzard's team shooter 'Overwatch' will now have 24 more hours to do so, the developer announced.
Though today was supposed to be the last full day of the beta, the trial has been extended until Tuesday, May 10, at 1 p.m. Eastern (10 a.m. Pacific). The extension serves as a "thank you" to the 'Overwatch' community, Blizzard stated.
Once the beta ends, players will only need to wait two weeks for the full launch of the game. Unlike the open beta, the full game will eventually include ranked play, though it won't be available right at launch. Blizzard has stated that in-game progress will be reset on launch to put everyone on equal footing.
Winston politely requested the Open Beta be extended for another day. We happy obliged! | https://t.co/CmyEFVCt0m pic.twitter.com/S3csMtWlvA
