Here are the release times in different regions for Overwatch 2's June beta:

The June beta will be a phased beta, meaning that Blizzard will gradually increase its capacity. While the initial phase will start on June 8, Blizzard has informed fans that they will attempt to provide access to everyone by the middle of July. Hence, players don't need to be disappointed if they don't get access straight away.

Blizzard has also introduced a special bundle in the form of the Watchpoint Pack. The pack will be available for sale on different platforms and guarantee the buyer gets a spot in June's Overwatch 2 beta.

The Watchpoint Pack not only ensures immediate access to the beta, but it also offers several goodies. It comes with a couple of legendary skins, for starters. There will also be the Overwatch: Legendary Edition and the Premium Battle Pass for the first season.

Beta access will allow players to enjoy all the new additions that will be made during this phase. It includes a fresh addition to the game, the new hero Junker Queen.

Players have a couple of ways to participate in June's beta, with the Watchpoint Pack being the reliable way to enjoy Overwatch 2 this month and the next.
