Overwatch’s Player Count is Way Up on Steam Ahead of Next Season

With the 10th anniversary of Overwatch coming up, Blizzard recently shared exciting news with fans. After the end of Season 20, the game will enter a new phase – the title will simply be Overwatch, dropping the “2”. This change coincides with the start of a new story arc called Reign of Talon. Blizzard plans to add 5 new characters to the game right away, and another 5 throughout 2026, alongside a yearly storyline and other significant updates. The announcement has clearly excited players, both old and new, as the free-to-play game has quickly climbed the charts on Steam.
