This sound comes from Overwatch, Blizzard's hero shooter released in 2016. The elimination cue became familiar through regular gameplay, highlight compilations, and streamer clips, then spread into broader gaming edits as one of those instantly recognizable notification sounds. People still use it because it is very short, clear, and tied to the feeling of securing a takedown. Even viewers who do not actively play Overwatch often recognize the cue from esports videos, ranked clips, and meme edits built around competitive moments.
