Overwatch beta sign-up is live: Here's how to enroll

Want your shot at playing the new Blizzard team-based shooter Overwatch but couldn't make it to BlizzCon to get your hands on a demo station? Good news: Beta sign-ups for the game have just gone live and the process is ... well it's pretty painless, honestly. Keep in mind, this isn't a guarantee of entry, but it's a chance, and that's got to count for something.

The first step is to head on over to the official Overwatch page and then click the yellow button marked "Beta" at the top. And ... well, that's pretty much it. Well, you'll have to sign in with your Battle.net account, but after that, it's pretty much just a waiting game. Maybe the beta gods will look favorably for signing up for your chance at entry earlier? Here's hoping.

Overwatch was just announced this afternoon, but we've got a video introduction for you to ogle here.
