The team-based hero shooter Marvel Rivals impressed many players at the start. Some rushed to "bury" Overwatch 2, but in the long run, the NetEase Games project is not doing very well.
Observations by Newzoo analysts showed that in August 2025, Overwatch 2 was more popular than Marvel Rivals.
The presented statistics show that Overwatch 2 was in 14th place in the top of the most popular games on PC — ahead of Helldivers 2 (No. 15) and Marvel Rivals (No. 16).
Some participants in the discussion questioned the statistics, but user Drefeezy77 explained where this data comes from:
«For those who are interested in how they get the data: Newzoo is a platform that companies themselves use to report and compare metrics and data with other companies. They transmit metrics to Newzoo, and Newzoo then shares this data».
