It’s official: we love Overwatch. Battleborn, not so much.
Activision Blizzard today marked the debut of Overwatch as “one of the most successful global game launches of all time.”
“Over the months and weeks leading up to release we saw a lot of love and support for Overwatch—from Blizzard gamers, FPS fans, and people who’d never picked up a game like this before—and we’re very grateful for everyone’s incredible passion and enthusiasm,” Blizzard Entertainment CEO and Co-Founder Mike Morhaime said.
Over 7 million players have logged into Overwatch. Together, we’ve logged over 119 million hours of gameplay.
Meanwhile, Kotaku has recently published an article on the steep decline seen over on Battleborn. PC players of Gearbox’s latest shooter are falling off at an alarming rate. On 1 June, slightly over 2,000 concurrent players were logged in and playing on PC. On launch day, that number was over 12,000.
