Overwatch will offer double XP to players over the weekend, Blizzard today confirmed.

The double XP event begins at 10.00 am AEST on 9 June — perfect for players looking to level up and grab an Anniversary Loot Box at the same time.

All in-game XP, apart from a player’s first win of the day (1500 XP), will be doubled during the event.

Overwatch‘s Anniversary event is now on, celebrating one year of the game on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. Additionally, competitive season 5 has also just begun.

Will you be playing this weekend?
