Latest reports shows that "Overwatch" is going up in terms of revenues and is now number one among all the games.

Despite being a pay-to-play game, "Overwatch" has earned a lot of revenues. It earned $6 billion in total and jumped up 11% making it the number one digital game in the market. The game "Overwatch" has already earned $269 million of digital revenues both in console and PC just for the month of May. It left all the other competitors 'in the dust', according to Joost van Dreunen of SuperData. This report was made by SuperData last May, Game Industry reported.

"Overwatch", created by Blizzard, ranked 5th in the most streamed video games. It is also boosting itself using Facebook streaming. Blizzard just wrote a deal recently to allow players and users to log in to Battlenet using a Facebook account. This also boosts Facebook's streaming department. The game helped Faebook closely follow the lead of YouTube and Twitch in terms of streaming. The game maybe new but it already has a massive user base that is very helpful in boosting Facebook's streaming department.

Blizzard's new game dominates the list and leaves other games such as "Battleborn" behind. The new online shooting game, "Overwatch" ranked up by selling luxury items that includes graffiti tags and skins. This alone earned $18 million.

The list of games in the top five in PC is led by "Overwatch" followed by "DOOM". The third is "Counter Strike: Global Offensive" followed by "Dark Souls III" ranking in fourth. Top five, is the classic game, "Minecraft". In terms of console, "Unchartered 4: Thief's End" ranked first followed by "Call of Duty Black Ops III" and "FIFA 16". Ranking in fourth is "Tom Clancy's The Division" followed by "Overwatch" in rank five. In the field of free-to-play MMO, "League of Legends" ranked first followed by "Crossfire", "Dungeon Fighter Online", "World of Tanks", and "DOTA 2" respectively, SuperData reported.
