The first Overwatch 2 Beta is located in the same game files as the first Overwatch game on Battle.net. If you have been accepted into the Beta, you can find it by opening the Game Version drop-down menu in the bottom left corner and selecting Overwatch 2 Tech Beta. If your account has received an invitation to the Beta, it will automatically appear here for you to download. No codes or anything else needs to be entered.

Once you have the Beta installed, you are free to play it as much as you want until it ends on May 17.
