Overwatch’s Steam debut never told the whole story: it drew plenty of players, but moving the game from Battle.net to a public Steam store page exposed it to visible user reviews and a lot of vocal criticism, while many PC players continued using Battle.net instead of Steam.

When Marvel Rivals arrived on Steam in 2024 it quickly outpaced Overwatch’s Steam concurrent numbers — it was the fresh release and, at the time, Steam was its only PC storefront (it hadn’t launched on Xbox One or Switch like Overwatch has).

That trend has now shifted. Community posts noticed that Overwatch recently posted a higher 24-hour peak on Steam than Marvel Rivals. According to SteamDB, Overwatch’s 24-hour peak was 90,902 players versus Marvel Rivals’ 87,954.

This isn’t the first time Overwatch has topped Marvel Rivals in short bursts, but it is the first time Overwatch has surpassed Marvel Rivals’ 24-hour peak — meaning Overwatch sustained stronger play over a full day rather than just briefly overtaking it.

The resurgence follows a major update that refreshed large parts of the game, added five new heroes to the roster, and introduced story-driven content (including an Overwatch vs. Talon event), all of which appear to have helped lift player interest.

Despite ongoing complaints from some about new character designs like “Jetpack Cat,” overall sentiment among players on Steam looks healthier for Overwatch than it does for Marvel Rivals right now — though Steam numbers don’t capture the whole player base, given Overwatch’s continued presence on Battle.net and consoles.
