How can I get an Overwatch 2 beta?

To access the Overwatch 2 beta you had to register your interest on the game's official website, which you can access here with your Battle.net credentials. If you have been chosen, you will receive an email at the associated address of your profile. Remember that you must have a license of the first installment in your account to be able to play the beta; the Overwatch free trial also works.

In case you were unlucky, Blizzard will make available an alternative linked to Twitch Drops by watching a selection of streamers play and you will be eligible for a beta key. The Twitch Drops campaign will be available from April 27 at 10 am PT until 6 pm PT.

You are guaranteed to get a beta if you watch at least four hours of streaming. Viewing time is cumulative; if the streamer you are following cuts the live stream, you can jump to another one as long as they are part of the promotion. You will find participating content creators within the Overwatch section on Twitch.
