This weekend presents a great chance to return to Overwatch, where players can enjoy bonus leveling rewards and receive complimentary in-game treasure boxes. The launch of Season 1 for the 2026 calendar saw an enthusiastic response from the community, with a significant surge in player numbers reported on Steam—a platform that may not be the main hub for the PC audience due to Batte.net. Even though the initial release was slightly hindered by an annoying bug that has now been resolved, numerous players came back to explore the five new heroes and various fresh additions available in the game.
Blizzard is clearly pleased with Overwatch’s current momentum and has announced an exclusive weekend celebration that grants twice the normal experience rewards, along with five free loot boxes. To help you keep track of the event, consider these key details:
- Event Duration: Starts today, February 20, from the daily reset around 7PM GMT/8PM CET until the reset on February 23.
- Account Progression: Take advantage of double experience to boost your levels during this period.
- Loot Boxes: Receive five free loot boxes just by logging on within the designated time frame, adding attractive cosmetic items to your in-game collection at no cost.
Are you ready to dive back into Overwatch this weekend and make the most of these exciting opportunities?
