Overwatch 2 launched with a myriad of login errors and server issues that have dampened players’ enthusiasm for the game. As an apology, Blizzard is running several Double Match XP weekends to help players make up for lost time. When is the next Overwatch 2 double XP weekend?
Has Blizzard confirmed the Overwatch 2 Double XP weekend dates?
Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed the first Double XP weekend will start at 11 AM P.T. on October 21, 2022, and will end at 11 AM P.T. on October 24.
Blizzard will be running several Double Match XP weekends with two more confirmed for later in the year. These will take place sooner rather than later in an effort to appease players after the myriad of launch issues the game has suffered. These include locked characters, migration queue resets, achievement disconnect issues, bugged weekly challenges, and accidental skin purchases.
As part of the apology for the game’s launch issues, players will also be receiving a free Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary skin and a Health Pack Weapon Charm just for signing into the game after October 25. It may go some way to appease players for the many errors and bugs the game has suffered since launch, but players seem to be more concerned as to when those bugs will be fixed.
