Former Overwatch org Outlaws Entertainment shuts shop less than a year after OWL closure
Texas-based Outlaws Entertainment, once home to the revered Houston Outlaws Overwatch League team, has closed its doors less than a year on from the league’s closure and an organization rebrand that saw them drop esports altogether.
The org announced its end via a subdued post on X (formerly Twitter) on July 26. “Since our inception seven years ago as the Houston Outlaws, we have experienced an extraordinary journey filled with unforgettable moments,” the org said, adding that despite its launch in the inaugural season of the OWL, it stated it was “unable to deliver a sustainable business model.”
