🖥️ Second Screen: An Opportunity You Shouldn’t Miss
Did you know that over 30% of Overwolf users play with multiple screens?
In many cases, the second screen stays open during gameplay — often underutilized.
This creates a powerful opportunity to:
- Enhance user experience without disrupting gameplay
- Increase engagement during longer play sessions
- Improve monetization through higher ad visibility and performance
We highly recommend designing your app with second-screen behavior in mind.

📡 New Performance Data API (Now Live!)
In case you missed it — we’ve just released a brand-new API for accessing Performance Dashboard data from the Developer Console.
This has been one of the most requested features from our developer community.
What’s new?
Until now, performance statistics were available only via the UI. With the new API, you can:
- Programmatically retrieve performance metrics
- Integrate data into internal dashboards and monitoring systems
- Automate workflows and analyze data on your own terms
⚠️ Known Issue
On the first API call, the system triggers a data refresh.This means:
- First response may contain outdated data
- Second call returns updated information
Our team is actively working on a fix, and we plan to expand this API to include more dashboards in the future.
