Blizzard announces plans to conduct a stress test in
Overwatch this
weekend, so they will be making additional accounts as eligible for beta testing
of the upcoming team shooter. They will be flagging these accounts on Thursday
to give new participants the chance to download the client and testing will run
from Friday until Monday.
This post has
further details and a FAQ on the process. Here's word on your chances of getting
in if you have opted in to testing in Battle.net: "Beta Test Weekend
participants are chosen from our Overwatch beta opt-in pool based on a variety
of factors, including (but not limited to) your Battle.net region, when you
signed up, your computer hardware specifications, and an element of luck."
