Free goes a long way.

and bloated player queues, Blizzard has announced that over 25 million players Overwatch 2 players have logged on in its first 10 days.

"Since launch, the game has been reaching nearly 3x the amount of players per day as the previous daily peak for the original Overwatch," reads the announcement. Normally a figure this big isn't too surprising for the launch of a major free-to-play shooter, but the road to Overwatch 2 has been anything but normal. Despite being branded like a whole new game, Overwatch 2 is largely just an expansion of the original game.

That's why nothing will change and companies will always take advantage of the gamers. Because the majority will swallow everything they give them.

Big surprise that it would seem all the loud and crying boycott crowd doesn’t mean what they say. Weird

And it’s gonna lose them just as quick

My only issue has been the LC error kicking me out of comp matches, I have 4 strikes now because of getting achievements in the middle of my matches and not letting me join back. :/

I really don't know what happen to the Player vs A.I especially on Casual, I don't remember it being too difficult. I don't know if it because the enemy A.I have a 2nd Healer or if specific Tank Heroes are being annoying.

Why can’t these ow2 simps just acknowledge your “sequel” is nothing more than a cash grab and all of you are eating it up like mindless drones. Game is the exact same gameplay-wise but worse in every other area. Stop defending blatant cash grabs

OW1 gated by paywall, OW2 free to play, it's not comparing apple to apple KEK

Twitter: 'it's not even a sequel', 'I couldn't log in on release day', 'they ruined the meta', 'I want ow1 back', 'lootboxes were actually great' Me and 10 million people: 'so this is overwatch, but less stałe, faster, and any of my friends can play? Pretty cool'

will see in a few month

Don't celebrate them stealing from you

Don't celebrate them stealing from you

It's so good

Shit I read it as Overflow 2, what a disappointment.

When things are new I guess lol

Twitter isn’t irl y’all’s opinion does not matter LOL

Not really impressive when you consider no one can play Overwatch 1 anymore.

Its number 3 on xbox most played list. Crazy Activision has 2 of the top 3 most played on xbox.

And I still hate it SO much! (Also, is the same game, but everyone knows that)

Streamers are ruining gaming because I assure you this trash game is nothing without them

yet the queue times are 7 minutes. curious...

Because it's free

Its fun Just wish theyd get rid of battle pass and return to the free loot boxes

My problem with overwatch was the toxicity of the player base. You couldn't play comp without someone (or more) on your team or the opposite team being toxic. The first year or two the game was great then it all went to ... I also can't excuse Activision/Blizzard.

You can thank pornhub for most of their users tbh

Free to play might have something to do with that.

The point of making Overwatch 2 was the PVE mode. The thing they showed on the trailer release. The same PVE mode the promised us in the first game. The same PVE mode they don't added to the game,until late 2023 Since OW2 trailer they released one hero and the game was abandoned

It's almost like all the people freaking out and complaining and yelling on Twitter didn't actually mean anything.

Surprising what happens when the servers don’t take a shit.

Should Blizzard_Ent bring back Doomfist's uppercut? 👀

It feels, looks and plays like the first game, there was no reason at all to call this Overwatch 2.

Yeah but its Blizzard.

Game is ass so far ngl
