Blizzard’s Overwatch has reached another milestone. The hero shooter has more than 35 million players.
The hero shooter Overwatch is a success story that neither Blizzard nor the fan community could have dreamed of. After already boasting a proud player base of 7 million shortly after the launch of the game on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, the community quickly grew. Just in April of this year – almost a year after the launch – the number of players rose to a whopping 30 million.
Now Blizzard announced the next milestone via Twitter. Overwatch has surpassed the mark of 35,000,000 players and continues to grow!
However, these numbers should be taken with a grain of caution. It is not entirely clear how these were counted. It is quite possible that even the test players from the free weekend were included. So, it is most likely that these are registered game accounts.
Are you an Overwatch player from the very beginning? Or did you decide to give the game a chance only in the course of the last year? Or do you not care for the game at all and prefer to play similar games like Paladins?
Currently, the “Halloween Terror 2017” event is taking place in Overwatch, featuring cool skins.
