Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.

Developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, "Overwatch" is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game unveiled at BlizzCon 2014. Unbeknownst to some players of this video game, there was a dedicated "Overwatch" porn series on Pornhub.

However, the "Overwatch" porn films are no longer available on the porn site. The films had been removed after a filed notification of infringement, the director of the porn series who goes by the name Spornm revealed on Reddit.

Spornm used Source Filmmaker to create the "Overwatch" porn films featuring animated characters directly taken from the video game. It has yet to be confirmed if Blizzard Entertainment was behind the copyright infringement report.

The "Overwatch" video game was released on May 24, for Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4. On Oct. 27, 2015, it entered closed beta in North America and Europe. The beta was planned to be brought to Asia at a later date.

On April 15, the final closed beta weekend started and primarily served as a stress test for servers of "Overwatch," which lasted for one and a half days. Recently, the game ranked number one in the United Kingdom while "Total War: Warhammer" was the fastest-seller in the series, Metro reported.

With 47 per cent of sales, the PlayStation 4 version of "Overwatch" was the biggest seller. It was followed by the Xbox One and the PC version on 36 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively.

Currently, "Overwatch" has four main game modes, namely assault, escort, assault/escort and control. Each of the modes has an "Overtime" period that lasts for only a few seconds.

Also, characters in the multiplayer first-person shooter video game come in four varieties, namely Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. The roles are used to categorize "Overwatch" heroes by similar characteristics.

On April 19, the first appearance of an "Overwatch" character in a released game took place in "Heroes of the Storm." Also developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, the latter also features heroes from "Warcraft," "StarCraft,' "Diablo" and "The Lost Vikings."
