Overwatch is going through a bit of a Reinhardtissance at the moment, thanks to its rebranding (or unbranding?) and years of legwork under the direction of Aaron Keller. After dropping the 2 and making hundreds of changes literally, Overwatch hit a new all-time peak on Steam, and the engine has just kept on going.
The numbers have only gotten better since the launch of Reign of Talon. Overwatch had a higher daily player count in its second weekend vs. launch weekend, the first time that happened since Overwatch 2 launched in 2022. According to Blizzard, that’s 16 cat years for you, jet-pack enthusiasts.
