Now this is a hell of an increase in player numbers.
So what happened for this period of increase? Well Oct 2023 was when Sombra got Virus.
So, I think we can bury the âSombra was driving away playersâ comments once and for all, since obviously, getting a 1.7x increase in concurrent average player numbers is not, you know, them being driven away.
This is, one of the MOST extreme increase period of average players overwatch has ever seen.
And before people who canât read go offâŚ
- this is NOT alts driving it, since it is concurrent players.
- This is Steam reporting, not Blizzard.
I just thought it was interesting. One of the period where people complained about the game the most, was ALSO when it saw a massive increase in player numbers (on windows)
