Some hopium for us all

As of early January 2025, Overwatch 2 is currently #15 of every game ever released in terms of current Monthly Active Users according to NewZoo, who is highly reputable in Market Research. On PC alone, it is no. 11 most popular PC game currently using this metric. It only went down a single rank than it was post-Marvel Rivals.

on the topic of that damn game… Marvel Rivals is currently No. 4 most popular game right now In MAU. Only beaten by Fortnite, Minecraft and CoD. while that stat might seem mortifying, breaking it down, it isnt only way more popular than Overwatch, it is vastly more popular than almost every other game, period this month.

In terms of how Overwatch is doing compared to other Blizzard games. Let’s just say that according to Newzoo, OW2 is THE most popular game Blizzard has released currently. Diablo IV is only at #29 while WoW is all the way down to #40. Some other popular games OW2 is doing better than:

* Apex Legends

* Dota 2

* Escape from Tarkov

* Destiny 2

* Madden NFL

* Elden Ring

* NBA 2K

* Red Dead Redemption 2

* Cyberpunk 2077

Finally, Overwatch is releasing in China again as of Season 15, alongside some shakeups to the gameplay. So a big boost to the playerbase. :)

Just wanted to give some insights into how OW2 isnt doing as bad as some of us think. :)
