The beta phase for Overwatch 2 didn’t gain a highly favorable momentum and then the early days of launch were affected by long server queues, making the players frustrated. However, it seems like the game has recovered from a shaky debut. So much so that it has eventually succeeded in breaking an all-time record in the franchise.

Ever since its official launch on October 4, Overwatch 2 has stunned everyone with addictive gameplay, to say the least. Although there have been some issues, the majority of gamers have thoroughly enjoyed it. And the proof is that it just topped 25 million players within two weeks of release!

Coming as a sequel to its 2016 predecessor, the newest entry comes with an enhanced experience. Plus, there’s a new character as well, of Japanese origin, who’s named Kiriko. A major change from the first game is that now there’s only a 5v5 option in the PvP mode.
