One of the more... unusual measures of a game's success has to be how often the game is searched for slightly more adult purposes than just video games. One such game that could be called a success based on that is Overwatch, which is currently running its open beta.
VentureBeat have discovered that since the beta went live, the search terms to do with Overwatch have soared by 817 percent on adult video site Pornhub. Unsurprisingly Tracer is the most popularly searched for character, especially given the controversy over her victory pose a few weeks back.
In case you're wondering how on earth there can be videos of game characters, well let's just say character modellers and Valve's free tool the Source Film Maker have an awful lot to answer for. The viewing figures and uploader numbers all suggest that this is a sort of global thing as well with users being registered from all over Asia, Europe and South America among other places.
Of course, adult works of fictional characters are nothing new - the Internet is for porn after all. The numbers though are fairly impressive.
Outside of this though, Overwatch has had a pretty successful open beta so far with a lot of people playing it and getting hooked. Heck, even as I write my brother is on the other side of the room playing Overwatch on the Playstation 4. He's pretty good with Reinhardt and his shield.
Overwatch will release fully on May 24th.
