It’s hard to believe that Overwatch came out a whole-asseight years ago.I was still a young and spry college student, blissfully unaware of just how little time I had left to comfortably enjoy hunching over a monitor for 10+ hours playing a Korean streamer in a giant mech.
Regardless of me being old and constantly enduring back pain now, Overwatch has been a staple in my gaming rotation for almost a decade now. I drop off it for pretty significant periods—even moreso since its sorta-but-not-quite-a sequel launched in October 2022—but it’s the only shooter that’s ever grabbed my attention enough to keep me playing well into triple-digit hours.
For those of you who are bad at the game—hi, hello, raising my hand over here—it may end up unintentionally shading you. The montage splices high-action footage of the game’s cast of heroes with things like your K/D ratio, win rate, which role you’ve played the most and the folk you’ve partied up with more than anyone else. The video wraps up with a message of thanks from director Aaron Keller and executive producer Jared Neuss, with Keller saying: “When we started working on Overwatch in 2013 we never imagined it would grow to the point where it touched the lives of 100 million players.”
