Overwatch 2 launched a little over a year ago, and while the initial reception of the game was fairly disappointing to players due to the lack of promised PvE features and a very aggressive monetization model, the game has seen nothing but new content added to it during its lifespan. We are currently in Season 8, and there have been a ton of new maps, heroes, and balance changes over the last year, giving players a wealth of new options to experience the game. In this article, we are going to go over the current player count of Overwatch 2 to see if Blizzard has been able to redeem themselves in the eyes of the community.

Overwatch 2 Player Count Stats December 2023
Keep in mind that the player count numbers are based on third-party estimates and not official Blizzard data!
Unfortunately, Blizzard Entertainment has the tendency not to provide any information regarding how many active players any of their games have. Because of this, we are not going to be able to give you accurate numbers. However, with the use of some third-party tools such as Activeplayer.io, we will be able to reach an estimate based on the popularity of the game over the past year.
Based on the information provided to us by Active Player, Overwatch 2 currently averages 3,145,312 players each day, with 24 million players logging in the past 30 days. The game has had a very stable number of players over the past year, with the peak being 26 million users during February 2023.
