Overwatch broke its own record for simultaneous viewership on Twitch

Overwatch 2's closed beta attracted more viewers on Twitch than ever before in the history of the series, with more than 1.5 million people watching the streams simultaneously, according to the developers.

The reason for this excitement was not only the desire to admire the sequel, but also the opportunity to get access to testing, since Blizzard-approved users made drops.

If we take the indicators of the platform as a whole, then the alignment is as follows (and here the level of Overwatch is less than 1.5 million):

• League of Legends - 3.08 million;
• Fornite - 2.28 million;
• Minecraft - 1.93 million;
• Counter-Strike Global Offensive - 1.91 million;
• Valorant - 1.73 million;
• Dota 2 - 1.71 million;
• Call of Duty Warzone - 1.61 million;
• Overwatch - 1.46 million;
• Rust - 1.37 million;
• Lost Ark - 1.27 million

Recall that the beta test of Overwatch 2 started the day before yesterday. The first stage will approximately last until May 17, and those who wish can still apply for participation.
