Overwatch Hits Biggest Weekend Player Count in Over a Year!

Ahead of its big rebrand, Blizzard’s hero shooter is seeing a major revival. Season 1: Conquest kicked off with 5 new heroes on day one (10 in total for the season), driving player counts across Steam, consoles, and Battle.net to their highest in over a year.

Even with some early debate over Anran’s redesign, fans are returning in droves—Steam saw a 63% surge after news of the rebrand. Could this be the start of Overwatch reclaiming its former glory?
