Overwatch Closed Beta Returns February 9
A couple of weeks ago Blizzard announced that the closed beta for Overwatch would be coming back in February with new features as well. Today, the publisher revealed the exact date as well as a list of the new features coming to the beta.
The changes were listed on Overwatch's blog:
- An all-new progression system
- Two new maps, including a new game mode
- Several hero balance updates
- And a variety of Private Game updates, including full A.I. matches.
Players who had previous access to the beta will still have it with this new version. The blog notes that Blizzard is looking for more players to test out the new content and is encouraging newcomers to sign up for a chance to play the beta.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
