Blizzard nets more Hearthstone and World of Warcraft players while Overwatch keeps stable

World of Warcraft and Hearthstone had more players in the second quarter of 2019 than in the first, but Overwatch was flat. All three represent Blizzard’s biggest live-services games, and by extension some of the most important titles in parent company Activision Blizzard’s catalog.
