The launch of Overwatch 2 has been incredibly bumpy for Blizzard and players alike, but now it’s clear that people were very eager to get in on the sequel to see what it’s all about.
According to Blizzard, Overwatch 2 has seen over twenty-five million heroes join the fight in the first ten days since its launch. Furthermore, Overwatch 2 is already achieving a daily player base spread near-even across EMEA, Asia, and the Americas that’s nearly triple the previous daily player peak from the original Overwatch.
