Overwatch Now Has Over 20 Million Players! [VIDEO]

Blizzard‘s game elevates to higher levels.

Despite World of Warcraft’s long and successful past, an in-house game took over the lead from the MMO. Blizzard admitted that the team-based first person shooter has over twenty million players.

Achieving this result as not a free-to-play game is outstanding, especially if you consider that the game launched a little less than five months ago. Most AAA games have to get five to ten million sales during their lifetime to be considered a success and Blizzard already topped that number. Call of Duty grabs about thirty million sales a year, and for Overwatch, even that seems possible to reach at the moment.

The game rewards the players by constant patches and seasonal events. The new one is based around Halloween, and it’s happening between October 11 and November 1. Over a hundred Halloween-themed profile icons, sprays, victory poses, intros, skins, emotes, and other things have been added. Each Loot Box will contain at least one, regardless of getting them via leveling up or buying the boxes.

A new PVE event also dropped – it’s called Junkenstein’s Revenge. Four players (Ana, Hanzo, McCree, and Soldier 76) against the AI, led by Junkenstein (aka Junkrat) and his creations. Check out the trailer below.

Overwatch might reach twenty-five million players by the end of the year at this rate.
