From Friday, November 20 through Monday, November 23, we'll be conducting our first invitation-only Beta Test Weekend. During this three-day event, we'll be opening up Overwatch beta (for a limited time) to a lot more players from our Americas and Europe gameplay regions.
Good luck all!

I wonder how many people they let in. Probably doesn't matter seeing as I'm never lucky.

I wouldn't get too excited. This is more of a stress test than anything else. There's a chance they invite thousands of players only to find the servers have major issues and people can't play at all. I hope for Blizzard's sake that isn't the case or the backlash they are going to receive will be immense.

Let's hope it all goes smoothly and a load more of the TF2 community can get to try out this game first hand.

Apparently you get an install button but it doesnt show on your account page.

I'm happy because i got the install button but sad because I'll only be able to play for the weekend.

I would love to get longer access.

Good luck to all, and I guess i'll see some of you on the game this weekend!

I'm in the weekend but get stuck on 'authenticating' in Overwatch itself. Is this as far as we're meant to get or a new error?

if you're in the weekend beta does that also make you eligible to get into the closed beta as well?

Yes. You get a separate email for that, though, so if you only get the weekend email, you're not in the closed beta.

They sent out full beta invites at the same time as the weekend ones, you either got one or you didn't. There's nothing you can do to change your status.
