Will Overwatch 2 have an Open Beta

[blahaj-1757]

I’d play it, I bet it would get more lifetime users than PTR ever did.

Idk but please blizzard bring PTR to console

I sure hope so,
Getting to play Sojourn before everyone else would be an experience to savour and remember

It might be too early to know if and when close betas and open betas will begin. As a speculation, I personally am anticipating on it. As a reminder, if you would like to be considered for betas, be sure to specify so in your Blizzard Account preferences here:

Unfortunately, this is still very unlikely to happen. Jeff Kaplan explains why here:

@JeffreyKaplan

We would really love to be able to host a PTR on console. Unfortunately, it’s very logistically challenging for us. Keeping PC/Console patches in synch is a big logistical challenge and the PC PTR actually makes that possible for us (during PC PTR our builds are undergoing certification processes with Microsoft and Sony).

In order for us to enable PTR for console, the end result would most likely be a delay in the release of all content by 1-2 weeks.

We talk about PTR on console often and we revisit the concept every few months to see if anything has changed. We never consider it a closed-door conversation. But under current circumstances, a console PTR cycle is unlikely at this time.

God bless you for that link

I never knew that was a thing that existed thank you.

It will be more of a free weekend than open beta.
The PTR access (if there will be any) will be for OW1 owners and PC only since it is still the same game.

if they will do open beta, then ppl just farm content in 1 day and don’t buy this game
