For a while, it looked like Marvel Rivals was going to eat Overwatch 2's lunch. Rivals hit 40 million users in a couple of months and held onto those players at an incredibly impressive rate. Overwatch 2, on the other hand, saw its player count bleed, losing 40 percent over the course of around seven weeks.

After it was revealed that Overwatch 2's director put pressure on the team, the Blizzard-developed hero shooter recovered a little following the release of Season 15. Its Steam reviews moved to "Mixed", and the game has seen a 17 percent increase in players.
While the two are clearly in competition with each other, a recent comment from NetEase in its latest earnings call suggests the two games can operate in the same space.
Fielding a question about Overwatch 2's return to China during the call's investor Q&A, NetEase said, "Both Marvel Rivals and Overwatch are excellent superhero shooters and are both well-designed and supported by outstanding development teams. We believe the market is large enough to accommodate two excellent games."
It's worth noting that NetEase is likely to be hotter...
