The Overwatch open beta has been extended by 24 hours, and will now last until Tuesday, May 10.

This extension is Blizzard’s way of thanking the community of “millions of players” who’ve logged in over the weekend to play their latest hit.

According to the company, the beta test has been proven to be very useful, and gave them a chance to “listen to your thoughts and opinions on the game; make improvements based on your reports in these very forums; and collect invaluable data just from you playing normally.”

This means that the version we’ll be getting when the game comes out on May 24, will be very similar to the beta version, only somewhat better.

Players will be able to continue Overwatching on PC, PS4 and Xbox One until May 10, 10:00am PT.

Thanks VG247.
