PornHub sees a massive spike in Overwatch searches after the recent beta

16 May 2016

Porn site PornHub has released a series of statistics involving Blizzard’s new shooter, Overwatch.

Turns out, the site has had a massive increase in “Overwatch” searches since the game’s beta earlier this month. An 817% increase, to be exact.

“Overwatch Tracer” was the porn site’s most-requested search term, meaning users were probably looking for something a little more suggestive than the character’s rejected victory pose.

By far, most of the searches came from South Korea. Australia didn’t show up in the top 12 list of countries looking for Overwatch porn.

Overwatch comes out later this month on Xbox One, PS4 and Windows PC.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
