Earn double XP in Overwatch

4.7
Blizzard has announced that it will be activating double XP in Overwatch this weekend.

The event will run from June 8th at 5 p.m. PDT until June 12th at 11:59 p.m. PDT and allow players to earn double the amount of XP, meaning twice as many loot boxes as normal. According to Blizzard, the bonus will apply to “nearly all sources of in-game XP,” including:

Time spent in a match
Completing a match
Completing consecutive matches
Winning a match
Backfilling a match in progress
Earning medals

Blizzard adds that the XP bonus will also stack multiplicatively with existing group and IGR bonuses.

The double XP bonus arrives just in time for the end of Overwatch‘s Anniversary in-game event. The event kicked off on May 23rd and introduced over 100 new items to the game, including 11 new legendary skins.

Since the beginning of the event, fans have been complaining about the difficulty of obtaining all 11 legendaries in the given time, without resorting to buying additional loot boxes. Game director Jeff Kaplan responded to concerns by saying that the team is listening, but didn’t offer any solutions to the problem at the time. Presumably this double XP event is in response to the complaints.

Overwatch is available now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Meet I picked this game up when it was on sale this past week. I did not know if I would enjoy it but it's really a fun game, I am trying to get my friends into it hopefully they go with it.


Especially when playing competitive play, it's best and more fun to play with friends. So try and get them into trying it out.

Personally, I love this game. I have around 500 hours on it and have made it to top 500 a couple times during this most previous season. Definitely going to grind hard during the double xp, make up for the lootboxes I have yet to get due to playing other games.

I haven't played this yet, not sure whether to grab it or not but this is the first i've seen double XP on it, maybe i'm just in the dark with this game.

I played this game weeks ago, but I'm not interested to play it again in the next days.
Overwatch its very monotone, you have for a little time a lot of fun but after hours of playing this game it will be boring :(
