The original version of Overwatch that launched in 2016 will be no more starting on October 2, after which the game's servers will be shut down and converted into Overwatch 2, Blizzard has confirmed.
In a group interview that Eurogamer participated in, Blizzard stated Overwatch will go offline 27 hours before the arrival of Overwatch 2 on October 4. Though fans previously knew Overwatch would essentially be converted into Overwatch 2, these are the first details about the actual timing of the conversion. That means October 2 (or possibly October 3 in some parts of the world, depending on the time zone) will be the last day to take the original Overwatch for a spin.
"So it's basically 2nd October, Overwatch 1 has its last day; we're down for 27 hours to give our team the ability to update all the servers to make sure that the backend supporting the launch of Overwatch 2 is ready to go; and then players can come in on 4th October," commercial lead Jon Spector told Eurogamer. "And if they already have Overwatch 1, they'll get Overwatch 2 as basically an update from a systems perspective. You'll see, 'Update the game to Overwatch 2' as an option on your PC or console. If you're a new player, you'll see on 4th October, the ability to come in and download and play Overwatch 2 for free."
