Overwatch Closing Anniversary Event With Double XP Weekend

Cancel your plans.

By Hope Corrigan

The Overwatch Anniversary event is coming to a close and is finishing up by granting players Double XP this weekend.

Double Experience Points can be earned this weekend by playing any match type and will apply to almost every way experience can currently be earned in game. The experience boost will also stack with group and internet game room bonuses but will not alter the First Win of the Day 1500 XP bonus.

This should act as a nice boost for anyone still scrabbling to unlock any of the voice lines or skins exclusive in the Anniversary Loot Boxes during the event.

The extra experience points will start to accrue for players on all platforms from Thursday, June 8 at 5:00pm PDT and will conclude along with the event on Monday, June 12 at 11:59pm PDT.

A complete list of times across regions can be found on the Overwatch blog post that made the announcement.

For those who are unable to dedicate the time to playing and unlocking their desired skins, there's a solution - simply move to China, where players will soon be able to purchase in-game currency with real money.
