Rather smartly, Blizzard is allowing you to get your hands on Overwatch ahead of its official 24th May launch so that you can get the game downloaded and installed ahead of time. You may be wondering, however, when the servers will go online. Fortunately, we have answers!
The official live time is the same globally: 00:00AM BST on 24th May. That means, depending on your time zone, you may actually be able to start playing the day before the official launch date. Let's run through the rollout across the world.
When Do Overwatch's Servers Go Live?
Monday, 23rd May

- 00:00AM BST (London)
- 01:00AM CET (Paris)

Different game, some old people scolding you over a microphone online.
I got the disc an update all installed... Wish they'd start a day early!
@Xaessya fortunately you can block them or disable the chat altogether
@BrizzoUK I have digital preorder, so also up and ready to tonight
@Xaessya Actually I didn't run into that problem at all during the beta.
I will be ready. My roommate is picking it up for me and installing it so I will be ready for it after work.
