We'll never know the actual numbers, because Blizzard doesn't share that info, but we can guess by: - Social media interaction and mentions about OW - Twitch and YouTube numbers - How active are the social platforms related to the game, like the forums, OW subreddits, etc. If you make a quick research and analysis about all those things, and combine it together, ANYONE that's smart enough can guess that the current ACTIVE playerbase (emphasize on active because that's what matters, how many are playing the game every single day for at least an hour or two) is at an all time low, and saying this is not hating the game nor wanting it to die, it's just BEING REALISTIC. It's not a dying game by any means as many apocalyptic people likes to say, but denying the fact that it's nowhere near being one of the most popular games at this moment is just being delusional, and saying things like "every game loses players over time" like some people does here, is also being delusional. CSGO, a game that's nearly 8 years old, is hitting 900k/1 million players DAILY on Steam, and when it was "doing bad" it never had less than 450k players on a daily basis. Overwatch is less than 4 years old.
