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.
