Electronic Arts announced today that more than 8 million people have played Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. And EA’s PopCap Vancouver division is giving away 80,000 PvZ coins to every player.

The shooter pits zany plant characters against comical zombies in an online-only first-person shooter. To date, more than 1.4 billion games have been played online, with an average of 1,600 matches a minute since the title was launched in February 2014. More than 7 billion zombies have been vanquished in the online land of Suburbia during that time.
