Looking to jump into Overwatch with some friends during hisMarch 16 stream, xQc flicks over to Battle.net and hits the ‘play’ button on the game’s respective tab. What he doesn’t notice, however, is that he has opened a program marked ‘test server,’ the one which presumably hosts the Overwatch 2 beta.

“I’ll play a couple of games of Overwatch, why not? After that I’ll do some racing or some driving, I don’t know what I’ll do after that,” he states, just as the loading screen for Overwatch 2 flashes up on screen.

“Oh my god oh my God. Oh my God!” he exclaims, immediately closing the game and dropping his head into his hands. “Oh my fking God I’m going to go to fking jail.” This time referring to actual jail instead of GTA RP’s Bolingbroke Penitentiary.

Perhaps saving his blushes, he’s not the only one who has accidentally leaked information on the sequel, as a number of pro players have alsomade a few slipspre-embargo.

Will he end up in jail? No – but given his talents for evading the police (albeit virtual ones) we’re sure he’ll be absolutely fine anyway.
