When are Double Experience Weekends in Overwatch 2? Double XP Weekend Schedule

Get through that battle pass quickly.

Getting through a battle pass before it expires at the end of the season is a task that you will need to dedicate yourself to. In Overwatch 2, you have nine weeks to get through 80 levels and unlock that season’s Mythic skin. With that in mind, the grind can be long and arduous. That’s why you will want to take advantage of Double XP weekends when they happen. Here is the Double Experience Weekend schedule in Overwatch 2.

When are the Double Experience weekends in Overwatch 2?

For the first time since Season 1, Overwatch 2 is having a double XP weekend between January 6 and 9. While the first schedule of double experience weekends were a way for Blizzard to say sorry for early launch issues, this time it is coinciding with the launch of the Battle for Olympus limited time event. Unfortunately, it will only last through this weekend rather than the full two weeks of the event.

There is no limits for the Double Experience gained in Overwatch 2 within these time periods. Unless you max out your battle pass tiers already, you will get more XP for completing games in any mode. For the most experience, you will want to focus on completing daily and weekly challenges. These are cycled in and out regularly, so you can potentially jump multiple levels when you finish multiple challenges on these weekends.

Now that most of the issues with Overwatch 2’s servers have been fixed, double XP weekends can be focused on celebrating new exciting things in the game. We’ve seen them come with holidays and new limited-time events, so you can expect future double experience weekends to come alongside some special times for the game. Be sure to take advantage of them to level your battle pass quickly.
