How many people play Overwatch 2? August 2024 player count

Overwatch 2 Season 11 is in full swing, with many in the community jumping into the game to try out the new Runasapi map and LTM modes. But, how have these new additions affected its already massive playerbase?

Overwatch 2 has one of the most loyal fanbases for an FPS game, so if you’re looking to find out how many players are playing in August 2024, here’s everything you should know.

Overwatch 2 player count this month

Overwatch 2 has 33,826 online players at the time of writing according to SteamDB. The 24-hour peak as of August 1, 2024, is 45,047, and Steam Charts note that the game has had an average of 29,540 players in the last 30 days.

Keep in mind that these stats are for PC, and so they’ll likely be higher if you take Xbox and PlayStation into account, but unfortunately, there’s no way to get the player count for consoles.

Active Player report that the game has seen 24,241,118 players in the last 30 days, which includes all platforms. However, this stat is from a third-party website and is just an estimate, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Overwatch 2 peak player count

Overwatch 2’s peak player count was 75,361 back in August 2023, according to SteamDB.

It’s been slowly growing over the past few months, with a considerable player count increase from last month, so we may see a higher peak number later in the year. Overall, the daily amount of players have doubled from 2023 numbers, showing that the latest seasons have been keeping players coming back.

With Season 12 on the horizon, and the new Hero Juno set to entice players back to the game, Overwatch 2’s player count will likely rise like it tends to with each seasonal update.
