Overwatch 2 gameplay
In the Overwatch 2 game, Kills is not a major goal, nor is it a deathmatch style shooter. Despite the killing, the players in this game will remove opposing team players from the board, away from the main objectives of the game, ensuring that the teams will enter.
Overwatch 2 includes two teams each consisting of five players. To succeed in Overwatch 2, teams will need to master map goals, masterfully use strategic hero selections, and effectively coordinate team plays to overtake their opponents.
Players must choose heroes who are grateful to each other and willing to achieve support, damage and tank roles. To overtake your opponent, team players need to understand choke points, learn the layout of different maps, and recognize key areas of defense and attack.
Players can communicate and coordinate team members via text or voice chat, helping them counter enemy strategies, relay information, and plan attacks. In challenging situations, team players need to maintain a positive attitude, strengthen their gameplay and focus on cooperating with the team’s efforts.
Overwatch 2: Active players rely on all platforms.

Overwatch 2 sale
Overwatch 2 generated over 35 million people within the first month of its launch. This achievement was positioned as one of the most popular games of 2022. This is due to its higher player base and additional features compared to the original version.
From the statistics and other data resources above, it can be concluded that the active counts and daily players in Overwatch 2 fluctuate each year, with no consistent levels. Last year, in 2024, Overwatch 2 had over 50 million active players, generating $225 million in revenue. Furthermore, the data predicted 130% above the main performance indicator (KPI), but things changed at the end of the year, with the game encountering several falls in the number of active players.
However, analyzing the 2025 statistics shows that the number of active players is increasing, so Overwatch 2 is expected to gain previous status and generate high sales in the current competitive market.
