On PC, Overwatch topped the charts, followed by Doom, CS:GO, Dark Souls 3 and Minecraft. According to the report, Overwatch has also seen massive success on streaming services, securing its place as the fifth most commonly streamed title.

Superdata also reference Overwatch’s monetisation strategy which relies on the sale of loot boxes and cosmetic items, suggesting these could have played a part in the shooter’s financial success.

The firm also revealed that Overwatch’s competitor, Battleborn, pulled in an estimated $18 million, despite only being released three weeks previously.
