Do we know it’s average playerbase back when it was still overwatch?
Comment on Is overwatch 2 really that bad?
kinkles@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoBecause despite the bitching it still has a very respectable user base, at least purely looking at the Steam stats:

No pretty sure it was Battle.net exclusive

That’s honestly not that good, when games like CS2 are regularly pulling 2million+.
According to 3rd party websites (that may not have accurate estimates, Overwatch 1 had between 600k-1mil peak concurrent players through a lot of 2020/2021. One of those same websites now says that OW2 had about 140k peak players today when combining all players on all platforms. So it would seem there’s been a huge drop in players.

Keep in mind that a large portion of players don’t have it installed on Steam and use the Battle.net launcher instead (like me).

Right, that’s why the collective play amount is ~130k when the steam daily is only ~30k

Ah, if only I could read more than one sentence at a time…

Also, the game is on consoles too with crossplay

CS2 is top of the pile, there is very little that can fairly be compared to it.

I think Overwatch 1 at it’s peak could be compared to CS2.
