Overwatch 2 is a critically acclaimed, team-based shooter game set in an optimistic future with an evolving roster of heroes. Team up with friends and jump in today.
quarterly reports of MAU for blizz went from 45mil at OW2 launch to 27mil to 26mil and the last one has 10mil diablo 4 players. It may not be dead but it’s hemorrhaging players like there’s no tomorrow.
Launch quarter for OW2 also had a wow expansion launch but it sounds like it was mostly bought by the smaller, core fanbase who have kept playing. Either way, adding 10mil MAU in Q2 and not being able to get the number above Q1 via a new game does not speak well of their retention.
Is it though? Can’t be by player numbers since it takes less time to get in match than CS:GO and you wouldn’t call that dead.
I am. It’s the only game I have on Battle net and after OW2 is on Steam I can uninstall Battle net.
I highly doubt Battle net will be removed.
Like so many titles before it, it’s likely you’ll just get to launch Battle net from Steam now.
So, no reason to uninstall anything. Or install anything for that matter.
In the post they made it looked like you only need to link accounts but we’ll see when it actually happens.
Oh, sure. But I have a sneaking suspicion you still need both Battle Net and Steam installed and running for it to work.
Kinda like GOG Galaxy works with both Steam and EGS. It can manage all your other launchers, but they need to be running.
