Overwatch: How to Check Stats

Overwatch, like most shooters, can make players absolutely obsessed with stats. How good you’re doing, or how much worse you’ve become, is something you just have to know sometimes. It’s all about the bragging rights, or adjusting the way you’ll play. Of course, you’ll need to know how to check your stats if you’re ever gonna boast about them.

There are two types of stats of course. There’s those in the game, ones you can check during a match or outside of one. Then there are those that you can check outside of Overwatch to give you your overall performance, or the performance of others.

Checking Stats In-Game

If you’re in the middle of a match in Overwatch, checking your stats is as simple as one button press. Hit the touchpad on PlayStation 4, the View Button (the one with the two windows on it) on the Xbox One, or Tab on the PC to quickly bring up a screen showing the teams and how you’re currently doing (Objective Time, Eliminations, Assists, etc.).

Checking your overall stats can be done easily through the main menu. Just access your profile and you’ll be able to get an overview of how you’ve done with each individual hero in the game, including how long you’ve played with them. It’s a good way to see who you lean towards more, who you do better with, and what roles could probably use some practice in. 

Checking Stats When Not in Game

Blizzard has added a means for those who want to check their stats while away from Overwatch. A site has been created that is dedicated to checking your own stats, or those of your friends and rivals. Head over to the Master Overwatch website, enter the Battlenet ID, PSN ID, or Gamertag of the person whose stats you want to peruse and you’re given them instantly.

This will show primary Hero, the players ranking with that Hero, total games played, K/D Ratio, and more. It’s a nice way to compare yourself to others and keep tabs of your growth, or to find out if your friends have been lying about their arena prowess.
