Overwatch Weekend Stress Test Begins November 20th

Eager players will have another chance to jump into Blizzard's team shooter Overwatch this weekend, starting November 20th. The game will be undergoing a stress test, pushing servers to the limits. But not everyone will be able to play. You'll still have to sacrifice a console to the RNG gods and cross your fingers, hoping Blizzard selects your Battle.net account to test the game.

The test will run until Novemeber 23rd and feature all 21 heroes. However, not all of the maps will be available: Hanamura, King’s Row, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar will be. The chosen one's will be able to install Overwatch on November 19th, while they stare at their clock and countdown tedious hours.

Selected players will see an "Install" button in the Overwatch tab of their Battle.net client, and a "Overwatch Beta" tab in their Your Game Accounts section of Battle.net Account Management. My own account suggests that I pre-purchase the game.
