Overwatch is holding a free weekend on consoles starting Sept. 9

No love for PC this time

Given how successful Overwatch‘s open beta was, it makes sense that Blizzard would want to offer another free-for-a-limited-time experience to coax people into buying the team-based shooter.

From Friday, September 9 at 11:00am Pacific until Monday, September 12 at 4:00pm Pacific, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners can play Overwatch for free. All of the content is accessible, and progress (like levels and Loot Boxes, but not Achievements or Trophies) made during the free weekend will carry over to the full, paid-for game if you decide to upgrade down the road.

The promo extends to Xbox One players with an active Xbox Live Gold membership and all PS4 users (though, do note, a PlayStation Plus subscription is needed for the full version of Overwatch).
