Overwatch: Myriad open beta stats released ahead of the game proper

Overwatch heads to PC and consoles tomorrow. To celebrate, Blizzard unleashed a bevy of statistics from its recent open beta upon us.

The most popular characters were Soldier: 76 on offense, Widowmaker on defense, Mercy on support and Reinhardt as tank.

We collectively swapped out heroes, mid-game, over 271 million times, and earned 87 million loot boxes in the process.

You can check out all of the stats here.

Overwatch goes live from 9.00 am AEST tomorrow, 24 May on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

About the author

Steve Wright

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.
