Summer Games Fest 2022: 20 Huge Video Game Announcements You Need To Know

20. Overwatch 2 Is Free-To-Play, Launching October 4

Overwatch 2 finally has a release date, and better yet, Blizzard also confirmed the sequel would be a free-to-play release.

The long-awaited hero shooter sequel will land on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on October 4th, complete with cross-platform play and progression.

The new gameplay trailer also introduced players to new hero Junker Queen, while reiterating that player counts have been reduced from 6v6 to 5v5.

Blizzard is set to deliver a more comprehensive breakdown of the game in the coming days, where they'll hopefully delve deeper into Overwatch 2's monetisation model, which we can safely assume will likely involve a Season Pass of some kind.
