After the release of the new seed, Blizzard’s game had the lowest player value to date.
Established brands often have an advantage over competitors because they have a stable fan base as well as a name that attracts players. However, this is not always enough for long-term success, as Overwatch 2 perfectly demonstrates. More precisely, the volume of players playing it at any given moment. It so happened that it turned out to be the lowest in the entire history of this game. The reason for the drop in player numbers from 33 to 16,000 appears to be none other than another free-to-play game, Marvel Rivals, which was played by more than 10 million users in 72 hours.
Marvel Rivals clearly showed the world that interest in hero shooters still exists. But not all. It wants to have the right theme and gameplay, which it provides in both cases. Whether Overwatch 2 will retain its player base remains questionable, but it is clear that the era of the dominant player in the PC market is slowly coming to an end.
