That’s honestly not that good, when games like CS2 are regularly pulling 2million+.
According to 3rd party websites (that may not have accurate estimates), Overwatch 1 had between 600k-1mil peak concurrent players through a lot of 2020/2021. One of those same websites now says that OW2 had about 140k peak players today when combining all players on all platforms. So it would seem there’s been a huge drop in players.

CS2 is top of the pile, there is very little that can fairly be compared to it.
I think Overwatch 1 at it’s peak could be compared to CS2.
Keep in mind that a large portion of players don’t have it installed on Steam and use the Battle.net launcher instead (like me).
Also, the game is on consoles too with crossplay
Right, that’s why the collective play amount is ~140k when the steam daily is only ~30k
Ah, if only I could read more than one sentence at a time…
Do we know it’s average playerbase back when it was still overwatch?
No pretty sure it was Battle.net exclusive
