The game’s director, Aaron Keller, is optimistic about the future of Overwatch 2, which has not performed well on the Steam platform.
The wave of negative reviews is growing, starting with the release of Blizzard’s first-person shooter, Overwatch 2, on Steam. The game’s director, Aaron Keller, responded to all the criticism in his latest blog post. Although it is not performing well on the Steam platform at the moment, Overwatch 2 looks to the future with hope.
Overwatch 2 was the lowest rated game
Overwatch 2 recently released a major update called Season 6: Invasion. This update brings the game’s first permanent PvE missions, while adding a new hero, game mode and maps. It also made the release of Overwatch 2 on Steam. However, the game’s interest in the game was negatively affected by the fans, making it the lowest rated game on the platform.
Aaron Keller responds to criticism
Overwatch 2’s game director, Aaron Keller, made an official statement about the bad reviews on Steam. “Targeting the game with reviews is not a fun experience. But it was great to see so many new players joining Overwatch 2 for the first time,” Keller said. He spoke positively about the future of PvE and PvP, noting that much of the criticism on Steam was due to the reduction of Overwatch 2’s PvE content.
While its reviews on Steam aren’t very bright, Overwatch 2 still has a very active community. Also, Overwatch 2 has seen a steady and massive increase in player numbers from its launch last October until February 2023, according to activeplayer.io. In most of the months since then, activity in Overwatch 2 has decreased slightly. However, the player population has generally remained stable. Despite the criticism, Overwatch 2 attracts more players than Overwatch 1. This is probably due to the fact that the game is more accessible and free-to-play than its predecessor.
But of course, many players are dissatisfied with Overwatch 2, and Keller’s statements were insufficient to quell their anger. Many people found the developer’s words empty. Still, Keller’s claim that Overwatch 2 is “in its best shape to date” seems to be true. Response to Overwatch 2: Invasion has been mostly positive, with core players enjoying the PvE missions and new PvP maps and game mode.
