Activision Blizzard’s player counts plummet as Warzone 2, Overwatch 2 hype fizzles

Warzone 2 and Overwatch 2’s release helped Activision Blizzard reach new player peaks at the end of last year, but the first quarter of 2023’s financial results might’ve proved this was a flash in the pan for the titanic gaming company.

Both FPS juggernauts, each sequels to 2010s titles, lost a large portion of their player bases since both follow-ups were released, according to the company’s latest financial reports, released on April 26. Activision lost 13 million players compared to their last quarter, while Blizzard’s overall player count slipped by 18 million gamers.
