Overwatch Competitive Rank Distribution: PC and Console - Updated Monthly
The skill rating distribution in Overwatch for PC, Xbox, and Console - updated monthly! Find out your place in the current season and the real value of your SR.
“Every month, I will gather the data and update this article with the SR distribution on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
Through the dataset, we will be able to compare the skill rating difference in each platform and how the distribution evolves over time - if there will be any difference!”
Skill rating required for each tier
The latest official data at our disposal
Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan released the tier distribution for the competitive mode in February.
The breakdown reveals the percentage of players in each rank. We don’t know if they represent the current ranks or the season highs, and if players on all platforms or only on PC. I believe these are the average data across all platforms.
Bronze - 8%
Silver - 21%
Gold - 32%
Platinum - 25%
Diamond - 10%
Master - 3%
Grandmaster - 1%
I compared these statistics with the ones publicly available through different Overwatch statistical websites, and the distribution is pretty much the same. It means we can trust the data they provide for the actual and the future rank distributions.
These websites do not gather data from all players in the game and are often biased towards high ranked players. Still, the percentage of population covered is huge, particularly for PC, so they can give us a proper idea of the skill rating distribution.
The following distributions are percentile based.
Bronze - 1 to 1499 SR
Silver - 1500 to 1999 SR
Gold - 2000 to 2499 SR
Platinum - 2500 to 2999 SR
Diamond - 3000 to 3499 SR
Master - 3500 to 3999 SR
Grandmaster - 4000+ SR

PC SR Distribution
Bronze - 0 to 5.1%
Silver - 5.2 to 19.8%

Platinum - 49.3 to 79.1%
Diamond - 79.2 to 91.9%
Master - 92.0 to 97.4%
Grandmaster - 97.5 to 100%
The average player on PC is in the Platinum tier: 2507 rank is equal to the 50 percentile.
XBOX SR Distribution
Bronze - 0 to 2.1%
Silver - 2.2 to 13.9%
Gold - 14.1 to 44.1%
Platinum - 44.2 to 78.8%
Diamond - 78.9 to 93.2%
Master - 93.3 to 98.9%
Grandmaster - 99.0 to 100%
The average player on Xbox is in the Platinum tier: 2566 rank is equal to the 50 percentile.
PS SR Distribution
Bronze - 0 to 2.5%
Silver - 2.6 to 14.7%
Gold - 14.8 to 44.9%
Platinum - 45.0 to 78.7%
Diamond - 78.8 to 93.5%
Master - 93.6 to 99.0%
Grandmaster - 99.1 to 100%
The average player on PlayStation is in the Platinum tier: 2552 rank is equal to the 50 percentile.
A summary of the data (PC-based)
About 50% of the players is in the Gold tier or below. Platinum is already a great accomplishment as it represents up to the top 77% of the player base.
There is a huge difference between low and high Platinum players. The Platinum tier goes from the 48.9 to the 77.2 percentile on PC, including both players just above the average and those in the top 30%.
There are less low rank players on console. We don’t have official data, so this stat could be biased, but overall both the Xbox and PlayStation datasets at our disposal confirm it.
Diamonds are a restricted group, and Masters and Grandmasters represent the elite. Only the top 3% of the players reached the highest tier in Overwatch. If you are at Diamond or beyond, do not underestimate your skills!
Notable changes:
The statistics in June confirmed the changes that took place in the previous month.
In May, the entire distribution on all platforms changed, and the average rank (50 percentile) increased.
In March, high Gold players on PC moved from the 54.7 to the 57.7 percentile, but the average remained the same.
