1.5 million viewers, just that

A few hours ago, The franchiseoverwatch made its comeback on the front of the stage with Overwatch 2: not the full game, no, but a private beta expected firmly by a gigantic community. We must say That this sequel was desired of long moments, turning into a little Arlesian and arousing the question with his promises of Pve, a game mode which is not however on the agenda in this first demo (which focus on the traditional competent aspect).

In short, the temperature intake yesterday was... good, very good, to say the least. In just two hours, the number of spectators simultaneously on Twitch had already reached 500,000, more than the peak of 439,152 viewers obtained at the launch of the Overwatch League. Finally, This is a much larger number that was reached in the night, namely more than 1.5 million people simultaneously. A completely exploded record for the saga.

Maliciously thoughtful beta

Activision-Blizzard has largely congratulated its players on social networks: more than 1.5 million viewers at the same time, it is simply unheard of for Overwatch, even after the madness of the first episode ago years ago. First, we can obviously cite the massive enthusiasm of the public which, yes, has not forgotten the FPS and for which nostalgia is effective.

Then another reason explains this success: to recover a key yourself with beta, you have to watch four hours of Overwatch 2 stream on Twitch , or at least on the chains with active drops. A frankly intelligent deal for Amazon as for Activision-Blizzard, which then avoids the hazardous box of the draw.

Remember that The Overwatch 2 beta will end on May 17, 2022 and that it is only available on PC. could its record be broken by then?
