Overwatch is free to play until early January 2021

If for some reason you've never tried Overwatch, or never purchased it since the 2016 launch, then you have plenty of time to give Blizzard's shooter a go over the Christmas break. From now until the 4th of January, Overwatch is free to play. 

Overwatch has had plenty of free trials over the years, although they are usually shorter than this one. Over the next two weeks, anyone can download and play the game via battle.net.

As you would expect, the trial includes access to the full game, so you won't be missing out on any hero characters, maps or game modes.

If you do end up wanting to pick the game up, then you can grab it on sale. The standard edition is currently 23% off, bringing the price down to £12.99, meanwhile, the legendary edition, which includes some extra character skins and cosmetics, is 51% off, bringing the price down to £16.99.

KitGuru Says: Overwatch isn't the only Blizzard game on sale for the holiday season, you'll also find discounts on StarCraft, Diablo and WoW.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
