Complaining and negativity begin to prevail in Overwatch 2. 20% viewership drop

We could write dozens of articles about the problems in OW 2, so it’s better to just collect everything in one place.


Overwatch 2 is slowly starting to get a worse and worse reputation. Today it’s hard to find any meaningful praise towards Blizzard and OW2 itself. Reddit, Twitter – virtually all popular posts are complaints about the second part of the game.

There is also a noticeable decline in the audience on Twitch. Of course, this was predictable, but the rate of decline is still quite small compared to what people expected. Overwatch 2 has lost 20% of its audience in the last 7 days.

However, this decline still does not cause Overwatch 2 to completely fall out of the most viewed games. The production is still in 3rd place in all categories.

The Overwatch community has become accustomed to complaining, while here, with each passing day, instead of getting better – it keeps getting worse. This is especially evident on Reddit, where all aspects of the game are addressed one by one.

Of course, there are also those positive posts, such as the one about Kiriko and her release:

The question is whether Overwatch 2 can cope with all the problems that have arisen. Such a test will definitely be Season 2. Then, people will no longer be curious about the game itself and will come back typically for new characters or passes.
