<p>If you’ve been waiting for the right time to join the fight for the future as an agent of<strong><em> Overwatch</em></strong>, now’s your chance! From August 23–27, we’re calling on all prospective soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities: assemble your teams and dive in during the <em>Overwatch</em> free weekend event!</p>
<p>If you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription, you’ll be able to play with the full <em>Overwatch</em> roster of 28 heroes––including the newly released Wrecking Ball––across 18 maps set around the globe.
