Overwatch 2 is a popular first-person shooter where characters have special weapons and abilities to help them fulfil their roles on a team. It’s free-to-play and available on PC and consoles, but it’s had lots of issues at launch. You may be concerned that you’ll be waiting in the queue forever, or people have lost interest. Here’s everything you need to know on how many people play Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 is pretty popular: in the first 10 days after Overwatch 2’s release, Blizzard revealed that 25 million people played the game. Since then, ActivePlayer reports there are 18 million active players, and over 100,000 are online now. Those are some seriously impressive numbers, and Blizzard has been updating the game frequently to fix the bugs so players have the smoothest experience they deserve.

After bugs got them removed, Bastion will be returning and Torbjorn will be in ranked matches again. Also in the patch is Blizzard’s Halloween event Junkenstein’s Revenge, with a spooky seasonal game mode and fun skins for Overwatch Heroes. Finally, Zarya is getting a nerf because her bubble protection can be used almost constantly with its quick cooldown. Still, things are looking up for Overwatch 2 players based on the upcoming patch and its present popularity.

That’s everything we have on the number of Overwatch 2 players. Check out some of our other Overwatch content like countering Orisa, the best damage heroes, and our Overwatch 2 review.
