In an interview with Eurogamer, Overwatch&#8217;s Commercial Lead and Vice President, Jon Spector, confirmed that the last day to play Overwatch 1 <a class=\"tagStyle_13haoeb-o_O-style_1x6hgip\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/the-last-day-of-overwatch-1-will-be-2nd-october-blizzard-confirms\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">will be Oct. 2<\/a>. Its servers will shut down in preparation for Overwatch 2&#8211;however, for those playing Overwatch 1 on PC, an option to update to the new game will be available before this happens. While the heroes of the original game will return, Overwatch 2 will completely replace it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbltap.com\/posts\/will-overwatch-1-still-be-playable-01ge4wrkzdyy?utm_source=RSS\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Overwatch 1 Still Be Playable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":59228,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[75],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59227"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59227"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59230,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59227\/revisions\/59230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
