Overwatch will be free to play on console through September 9-12
[quote]If you haven't had a chance to join the fight for the future yet on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, then get ready for the perfect tactical opportunity. Assemble your friends and try out Blizzard’s team-based shooter during the Overwatch Free Weekend September 9–12!
For this free weekend, we're making Overwatch's full roster of 22 heroes and 13 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the latest Weekly Brawl. You'll also be able to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock different customization options via the Hero Gallery. If you like what you see and decide to buy Overwatch: Origins Edition, you'll also get to keep whatever progress you made during the weekend. (Wicked!)[/quote]
So yeah, free weekend.

Now the game either needs to be super cheap or completely free. When Valve saw how popular TF2 became, they didn't increase the $20 price tag and eventually made the game free. With Overwatch you're essentially paying that extra $40 just for the Blizzard name.
