With all the energy of a grandma forcefully stuffing a tenner into your pocket, Blizzard Entertainment is slipping more freebies into the hands of Overwatch players because, like grandma, the company's just happy that you're here again.

"Guess our weekend plans are officially booked now," today's tweet from the Overwatch account reads, alongside the announcement that players will be receiving five free lootboxes and double XP on all matches for this entire weekend - February 20 to February 23 - "as a token of appreciation for keeping the matches rolling."
