Looks like the vast majority of people have already quit and moved on to other things lol
Sure glad we wasted 3 years for this travesty 
cant even retain a playerbase for a week.
They were uploaded after my initial post but talk about the issues with the game.
A lot do but not a lot supports. I personally dont have a reason to go back to OW1 unless I have to or the new event comes around. I would say a lot of people feel the same.
Where the hell did you get THAT information 
Which part?
Assuming you think people have quit because of the queue times; lot of people arenât queuing but just searching for âquick playâ in customs. Donât have to wait 10+ mins that way if you wanna DPS.
Iâm still playing OW2 though. I can play 3 - 4 hours everyday and still have fun.
Oh man⌠these threads are always a jokeâŚ
You need to understand that the first Beta wasnât desired to be the BIG coming back to OW plan.
The current beta is there to get feedback on 5v5, Push, Hero Reworks, maps, etc. before the OWL starts. Also itâs important to see for the devs, how the game is running on different systems with the upgraded Engine.
There will be patches for active betas and other major betas in the near future. Once the game is more polished, etc. we can expect a big marketing campaign for OW2.
I am, and Iâm having a blast as Support! 
Ok, and you need to understand that for a âfirst impressionâ this has failed at every aspect
If the first beta plays like this what incentive do people have to come back and play the following ones. Majority of people have already stopped playing because âits the same gameâ. Why would they come back for 1 new hero/map in the next beta??? They wont.
Overwatch 2 has already failed at every step of releasing a game.
Despite terrible marketing and communication, a substantial amount of people still tuned in to twitch to get beta access. Probably would have been significantly more if the devs could get their act together.
Is it still Overwatch, Overwatch 2.0 or Overwatch 2? The devs dont know, twitch doesnt know, the players dont know. Its an Overwatch 2 beta but you had to watch streams playing âOverwatchâ to get the beta, not ones playing âOverwatch 2â, which arent even of people playing Overwatch but actually Overwatch 2. Even then, the streams of Overwatch 2 look exactly the same as Overwatch 1 because the game looks exactly the same. If even they dont know, how do you expect general players to know wtf is going on with this game.
It is a total mess of marketing. Is it a free update to Overwatch 1? If so why is it called Overwatch 2. Thats confusing. â2â
Implies a sequel. An update isnt a sequel: If its a new game and not free why would I pay for essentially the same game again, because thats what Ow2 looks like to the average consumer. And for a first look âOh only 1 new hero! Is that itâ terrible.
Its called Overwatch 2 so people are expecting a new game. But the beta isnt a new game, its more of the same from 6 years ago. Just polished. That doesnt justify the â2â in most peoples eyes. Which results in the failure of step 2.
People are already moving on to other games again. The whole beta can be summarised as
âCool. Is that it? Its the same gameâ
There is nothing here to attract new players or bring back old ones. They paid a load of ex-players and new players to play the Overwatch 2 beta, and they have all for the most part immediately gone back to their normal streams again. Couldnt even keep them or their viewers interested for a week. Which has also led to negative publicity for the game, because now everyone and their mum is saying âits the same gameâ. Every non-Overwatch streamer and general media outlets/press have said the same thing. âIf you played Overwatch 1, you have already played Overwatch 2â
For what the beta is, It is virtually the same game with 1 less person per team and only 1 new hero. And that is a terrible representation of what the game may well be in the future. But that doesnt matter. Because first impressions matter. And for a first impression âŚ. Just look at the twitch viewership. Back to what it was before the beta. The game had a load of interest and immediately lost it all because the content in the beta was nowhere near the amount needed to get people back into talking about Overwatch. In fact it has only left a sour taste in many peoples mouths. The fact they waited years and this is all we get.
Everyone I know in the beta is still on every night
Good try though
Just out of my group of friends, the few that got beta keys tried it for a few days⌠but so few of them got a key that the ones who did finally said âeh I donât want to play OW2 by myself, so Iâll just go back to the original game so I can group with you guysâ.
I go back to ow1 to play support but I comeback to ow2 to have fun with DPS & Orisa !
My queue times have remained at 10m/10m/2m consistently - if there was a shallow pool of players then there would be swings, the same you see at weird hours on live. Iâm not running into the same players, either. So as far as I can tell, betaâs not a ghost town. 
Speak for yourself. I have played every day since the beta started.
Quit trying to make an empty take with no data.
It was interesting. Today my team in OW2 lost the first koth match and dps with mediore damage numbers was blaming me, the support for a negative kdr despite having the most heals of anyone on either team. I wonder why no one wants to play support.
Its not an empty take lol. Look at the metrics bruh
The game went from 1.4m to 30-40k in a couple days. Thats a drop of 97% of consumer interest lol.
You may well be playing it still but you played Overwatch 1 for 3 years with no content and are an outlier lol
You would have played if they literally copied and pasted Overwatch 1 and changed the logo with no new heroes or maps. You arent a good measurement of if the game is good or not, you are biased.
Look at the general interest in the game. It has already faded in a week. I mean lets wait for the next beta i guess, where i bet
You can pretend Overwatch 2 is some beacon of hope and will save Overwatch. But from ALL metrics currently that is not happening.
I have covid so Iâve felt too weak. But in a few days I can play more hopefully.
The ones in your head?
Keep ignoring facts and statistics man 
Im sure everything will turn out well and the game will be a success
Sorry to be a hater, but its time for some actual truth on here. Not just dancing with the faeries with our fingers in our ears thinking everything is fine
If i was the devs i would seriously be having a crisis right now.
You finally release a first look at Overwatch 2 after 3 years of development whilst killing your successful old game in the process. And⌠you managed to get people back for < a week. And they are already off again.
Must be pretty devastating tbh if i was them. 3 years of dev time and it so far amounted to less than a week of interest. If we want to keep on track i guess we will need a new hero and 4 new maps every week to keep engagement up
New heroes, new maps, more reworks/tweaks. Simple.
Why watch streamers play the beta when you have access yourself and can try everything theyâre streaming if you got in? I have overwatch 1 but never watch streamers cos I would rather play it. I prefer playing overwatch over watching the game being played. Unless itâs something like rocket league, GTA racing, archives PvE videos in groups of popular YouTubers etc.
Ok. And there was a new hero, 4 new maps, 4 reworks in this beta and âŚ. everyone still left
Your pointâŚ
It is immediately evident from this past week that is not enough to get people back to Overwatch.
Your question was what incentive people have to play the following BETAS
And I gave you the exact answer to that. People who have beta access but get bored after a while will easily return to play when new maps and heroes are added. Get bored again. Wait for the next beta with more maps and heroes, repeat. OW2 releases⌠Boom.
