Overwatch 2 beta is sure to be the hottest ticket on the internet the second it goes live. Overwatch 2 has finally been confirmed at BlizzCon, so how can you be in the first waves into this hot new title? Make sure you're signed up for the beta, of course! How do you do that? We're here to help.
The Shadowlands are open and Season One has begun. Face deadly foes, earn new rewards and achievements, and raid Castle Nathria, Sire Denathrius' fortress in the dark heart of Revendreth. As long as Blizzard doesn't massacre Ana, Bap or Lucio I'm alright with this. May 9, 2020 10:15 AM. Virgilliealie-a-lien @VirgilliealieL @BlizzardCSEUEN account authenticator problems need help pls.

Add some arcane flair to your wardrobe with the new eight-piece transmogrification set inspired by the fey dragons of Azeroth—available now for purchase in-game or from the Blizzard Shop. For a limited time, you can also get this mesmerizing appearance with the purchase of a 6-month subscription— now extended through February 1, 2021. Download games and applications from Blizzard and partners.
As a reminder, Blizzard stopped issuing beta keys a while back. Now, everything from friends and family alpha to the betas themselves are done by enabling access to your email address. Even if you get a huge splashy email that looks legit saying that you're invited to the beta, for security reasons you shouldn't click on anything in the email — instead, log in and check your beta status manually. (You'll have an alpha or beta option in the Battle.net launcher, like in the screenshot above.) On that note, you may want to make sure to link your account to an authenticator just in case.

The process to sign up for beta tests is pretty much the same for any Blizzard beta you'd like to participate in. Log in on Blizzard.com, then go to your Games and Subscriptions page. Scroll all the way to the bottom and go to your Beta Profile Settings. From there, you can tick boxes to opt in to the beta of any game you'd like — as long as it's listed. Unfortunately there is no ticky box to sign up for future betas for titles (like the much-requested The Lost Vikings sequel) at this time. If there's a title you don't see in the list that you'd really like to sign up for — like Overwatch 2, perhaps — check back periodically.
You can also check Blizzard Watch — you know we'll be all over it the second there are any updates on an upcoming Blackthorne beta.

Blizzard Beta Profile Page
The Shadowlands beta is now live, and invite waves are going out regularly. But to get in, you need to sign up for the Shadowlands beta test — and avoid the common account theft scams that come alongside every beta. Officially signing up just takes a couple of clicks: you need to go to the official Shadowlands website and clicking beta opt-in button (in the top right or towards the bottom of the page). And if you don't remember whether you signed up, it should tell you if you have.
That's all you have to do. If someone is telling you that you need to do something else, they're wrong. Ignore any fishy emails or suspicious links promising you easy access to the beta, because that's a good way to get scammed. Even if they look legitimate, don't click on any links unless they're on the Shadowlands website. Make live usb linux.
To check whether you have beta access, just open your Battle.net launcher. At the bottom of the screen, there's a dropdown to select your game version — click it and look for the 'Shadowlands Beta' option. If it's there, you have access. If it isn't there, you don't.
How long will the Shadowlands beta last?
We don't really know how long the beta will last. I'm tempted to use the Battle for Azeroth and Legion betas to speculate — as the closest betas to the present, they're likely the most relevant, but they're also made under different circumstances. Battle for Azeroth went from alpha to beta in April 2018 and went live on August 14 of that year. By comparison, Legion went into beta in May 2016 — almost a year after Legion was announced in August 2015 — and the game went live on August 30, 2016. Both betas were around four months in length, although to be fair the last month of a beta test is usually more devoted to making sure there are no catastrophic launch bugs, since the final design of the expansion will be formalized by that time.
Still, using these two expansions as models for the Shadowlands beta experience, a July beta launch means it may be December before the game is out. We'll of course be waiting to see if that's how things shake out, but it's following the last two expansions and how their beta tests went.
But please remember — to sign up for the beta, all you have to do is go to the Shadowlands page and click beta opt-in at the top, then click the button on the web page.
That's it. If anyone else telling you anything different, be suspicious.
