Blizzard's PTR is a frequently reset server where game patches are deployed for live testing. None of the game's progression sticks, but dedicated fans have an opportunity there to try out pre-release content and help Blizzard's balancing in the process.
To load into the OverwatchPTR, first open the Battle.net client on your PC. You should see a pulldown menu on the Overwatchpage -- just above the big "Play" button -- that typically defaults to your home region's server.
Click the pulldown menu and select PTR: Overwatch. You'll probably need to wait for the test patch to download -- it's around 358MB -- but once that's done you can hop in and check out all the new goodies.
The v1.5 patch should go live soon on all platforms. Once a PTR update happens, it's usually no more than a few weeks before it makes its way to every version of the live game.
