Overwatch 2 has finally hit Steam and disgruntled players are finally voicing their opinions in a very public way. The highly anticipated sequel to the popular team-based shooter has garnered both excitement and controversy since its release on the platform. While some players are thrilled to have access to the game on Steam, others have raised concerns about the state of the game and its future updates.
Overwatch 2 has become the first Blizzard game to be released on Steam. Although the launch is decent in terms of player count, user reviews paint a different picture. Many players have expressed frustration over various aspects of the game, including balancing issues, bugs, and the lack of new content. The game's developers have responded to some of these concerns, but the backlash continues to grow as more players share their experiences online.

It was only released on Steam two days ago, but Overwatch 2 is already breaking records, albeit probably not the ones Blizzard had hoped for.

With so many other popular games vying for players' attention, Blizzard will need to work hard to ensure that Overwatch 2 remains competitive in the crowded market.
The new release from developer PlaywithFurcifer, Backpack Battles, has reached a massive milestone in a very short time frame.

This development underscores the fierce competition among game developers for players' attention and loyalty on Steam.
