Overwatch’s Open Beta had been scheduled to end today, but the lovely people at Blizzard have decided to keep things running for another day.

“We hope everyone has been enjoying the Overwatch Open Beta. We certainly have! We’ve loved being able to play alongside you on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Over the last week, we’ve also had the opportunity to listen to your thoughts and opinions on the game; make improvements based on your reports in these very forums; and collect invaluable data just from you playing normally,” reads a message from the Overwatch Team.

“We couldn’t be more grateful. So, as a small way of saying “thank you” to our community and the millions of players who’ve logged in so far, we will be extending the Open Beta by 1 day on all platforms.”

The Open Beta will now close at 6pm tomorrow, May 10.

Overwatch fans won’t have to wait much longer for the full release, set to launch on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on May 24.

Pre-order Overwatch now from Amazon.
