Overwatch 2, the sequel to Blizzard’s 2016 first-person team shooter Overwatch, has finally released on the popular PC game store Steam—and it’s already received nearly 50,000 negative reviews attacking Blizzard with a litany of complaints.
The free-to-play core Overwatch 2 game and its four bundle versions—which cost various sums of money and come with additional cosmetics or characters as downloadable content (DLC)—have all been rated “overwhelmingly negative” on Steam. Overwatch 2 initially launched on Blizzard’s own BattleNet launcher last fall, but just hit Steam on Thursday.
At time of writing, the sequel’s primary Steam page has received roughly 47,000 negative reviews and just 5,700 positive reviews in one day. Out of this onslaught, though, just 14 are listed as “verified” Steam buyers. Out of those reviewers, the majority are also negative.
In the negative reviews for the four DLC packs, many reviewers reported that they never received the additional content they purchased via the Steam bundles. Others said that it took upwards of 13 hours to receive the content they had purchased.
While most of the DLC buyers left negative reviews because they did not immediately receive purchased content, the majority of Overwatch 2’s negative Steam reviews are from fans who appear to have been frustrated with the franchise for some time.
