Overwatch is a digital-sales behemoth with $269M in May, according to analyst

Blizzard’s ultimate attack causes a storm that sucks dollars out of your bank account.

Overwatch was the No. 1 premium-priced PC game for digital revenues in May, according to SuperData Research. On console, it was No. 5 for overall digital sales. That includes both microtransactions and full-game downloads from Battle.net, Xbox Store, and PlayStation Store. That was enough to generate $269 million in revenues last month for Blizzard Entertainment’s excellent class-based team shooter. The gaming industry is worth $99.6 billion a year, and SuperData reports that digital sales across console, PC, mobile, and the web produced $6 billion in May alone. That’s up 11 percent thanks in part to Overwatch, which sells for $40 on PC and $60 on console and was the fastest-selling game last month.
