More Hanzos incoming

darkwing · Sep 1, 2016

Khalifa Jayy · Sep 1, 2016

Finally I'll get to see what the hype is all about.

It's written in the FAQ

Q. Whats the approximate download size of the Free Weekend client?
A. For PlayStation 4, the approximate download size is 15GB.

Alucrid · Sep 1, 2016

let's hope battleborn doesn't announce it's f2p that weekend

Acquiescence · Sep 1, 2016

That's rad. I've been pretty close to buying the game lately now that it's getting some price cuts here, so this free tryout is very welcome.

SuperSonic1305 · Sep 1, 2016

Giving those new slim owners something good to play for free?

SpecX · Sep 1, 2016

Nice but fuck at the same time. Going to be out of town that weekend.

delSai · Sep 1, 2016

Enjoyed the beta, guess i'll play again with this.

Ready2Rokk · Sep 1, 2016

Wonder if we will see a discount next week or the week after to coincide with the "demo"?

JetSetRadio · Sep 1, 2016

I'll give it a spin, beta didn't convince me.

wild wild rice · Sep 1, 2016

YES

Been wanting to give this a go.

antitrop · Sep 1, 2016

It's probably my favorite multiplayer game ever made. Can't hurt to try it out for free if you haven't, already.

Falchion · Sep 1, 2016

Welp going to do this since I've been waiting for a price drop.

I'm hoping so. I liked what I played of the beta, but $30-40 is my threshhold for a game with no single player content.

kennyamr · Sep 1, 2016

wow, bold move.
let's see how it plays out.

In my case I have the game but I was never a fan of shooters so... yea.

Shahed · Sep 1, 2016

Is there a meaningful single player campaign of any sort ot is it all multiplayer? If it's the latter then there's no point in me downloading. I'm hoping the former though since it does look interesting.

Auctopus · Sep 1, 2016

The Genji weekend

I wonder if youll be able to keep those skins from boxes.

It's bullshit they make you buy the Origins Edition on consoles.

Most of the Origins Edition bonus stuff is for PC, anyway (for Diablo III, StarCraft II, Hearthstone, etc), so all you get on consoles is some stupid skins that you won't be using very long anyway.

It's MP only

Consoles, not just PS4.

Herbspiceguy · Sep 1, 2016

I wonder how much of an effect the end of the season has on active playerbase (not PS4 exclusively).
Personally I haven't touched Overwatch since it ended.

Was just about to ask why only on PS4. Pretty cool of them to do a free weekend. But now I'm thinking why not also on PC

KarmaCow · Sep 1, 2016

The fuck? The game on the HDD is just under 8 GB on PC.

Sorry, I meant the ranked season.

Very nice. Best MP shooter in years.

This and all the 60$ dollar comments just make want to cry into my hellshotguns.

Probably need extra space to unpack after downloading because of Sony's awesome file system.

D23 · Sep 1, 2016

i'll try it..

last free weekend sold me R6 Siege..

Yeah, my first thought was "what minor game release/event are they trying to trample with this?"

SlimySnake · Sep 1, 2016

Nice. i skipped it because every gameplay vid made it look like shit but im willing to give it a shot.

antitrop · Sep 1, 2016

Sn4ke_911 said:

Haha, never saw that before

It's true, though

Avid Reading Horse · Sep 1, 2016

I might give it another try. I haven't touched it since the beta. Wasn't PS4 missing when R6: Siege did a free weekend?

No free weekend on PC?

MaKTaiL · Sep 1, 2016

New map is on the list. Hopefully we will get it by next week.

Recore, Release date: September 13

The only correct price you should pay for a shooter played with a normal controller.
