Has Overwatch® been abandoned?

There is no evidence of abandonment, but there is a gap. The developers last posted 52 days ago — longer than Overwatch® normally goes between posts, which is why it reads as quiet rather than settled.

How we know this. Every figure here comes from announcements the developers posted themselves on Steam; press coverage is excluded. “Substantial” means a patch, release, or major update rather than a sale or event notice. Nothing on this page is an opinion about whether the game is good. See the full record or check the development status of every game we track.
