Overwatch 2 was always going to be a big game, what with the legion of dedicated fans of the original Overwatch diving in and the floodgates being opened by the free-to-play nature of the sequel.

The news comes to us by way of Activision Blizzard's third-quarter financial results, where the publisher noted that "over 35 million people played the game in its first month, including many who were new to Overwatch. The expanded community is engaging deeply, with average daily player numbers for the first month of Overwatch 2 more than double that of its acclaimed predecessor."
