Overwatch’s Retribution had more engagement than any of its past events

Overwatch‘s Retribution event had more participation than any other in the team-based shooter’s history, Blizzard Entertainment revealed today as part of Activision-Blizzard’s financial report for the first quarter of 2018.

Overwatch launched in 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It’s a live-services game, with regular updates for content like heroes and maps, but these seasonal events have also become an important part of keeping its players active. They celebrate holidays or in-game happenings with new skins and other cosmetic items available for a limited time via loot boxes that players can buy, which Overwatch’s main means of monetization.
