The popular FPS from Blizzard is currently having an anniversary event complete with new skins, maps, and more for Overwatch players. In addition to the celebratory event, the last few days will also be a double XP weekend for players around the world. With those highly coveted and hard to get skins out there, the more loot boxes you can earn from leveling the better. Join in from June 8th to the 12th and get started.

This XP boost will apply to almost every way players can earn experience, whether that’s through playing or winning matches, earning medals, and more. The boost stacks up with players playing in groups as well as those with an IGR boost. The only thing the boost will not affect is the first game of the day bonus, which will stay at its current addition of 1500 xp.

The double XP weekend starts Thursday, June 8th at 7PM CST and will continue through to Monday, June 12th at 1:59 PM. This XP jump will bring Overwatch’s Anniversary event to a close, which launched May 23rd to honor the game’s first birthday. There are other ways to participate in the event aside from playing as well. Blizzard Entertainment partnered up with ARTitude to bring fans controllers designed by European street artists with Overwatch characters as a theme. These controllers will be a part of a giveaway that also celebrates the Anniversary.
