OVERWATCH PORN

Daily Arcade Gaming Podcast

The long-awaited Overwatch beta dropped last week and it had some unexpected consequences, namely in the porn department. According to Pornhub’s statisticians, the adult entertainment website saw an 817% increase in Overwatch searches on the first day of the beta alone. Just a few weeks ago, all of the news surrounding the game was about the “suggestive” pose of one of the main characters, Tracer. Due to some negative feedback, Blizzard went ahead and toned down the character’s pose a bit, but apparently that didn’t do anything to quench gamers thirst for her.

During the opening day of the beta, by far the most searched for thing on Pornhub with respect to Overwatch was Tracer. Searches for “overwatch tracer” were nearly triple that of “cartoon overwatch,” the second most searched term. Rounding out the top five searches were “overwatch futa,” “sfm overwatch,” and “overwatch hentai.” Interestingly, Pornhub found similarities between people who searched for “overwatch” and people with My Little Pony fetishes. Pornhub’s statisticians didn’t stop there, though. They also took a look at which types of gamers were actually searching for Overwatch porn. At the top of the list were hardcore gamers, with roleplaying game fans coming in a distant second. Some fans of shooters and adventure games were searching for Overwatch porn as well, along with casual gamers in general. On the other end of the spectrum were sports gamers and driving and racing gamers who likely just aren’t big fans of Overwatch in general.

When it comes to which countries were actually searching for Overwatch porn, South Korea easily takes the cake. The country was leaps and bounds ahead of the next closest country, Belarus. Russia, Chile, Argentina, Thailand, and Ukraine were also all in the top ten while the United States didn’t make the list at all.
