Overwatch blitzes past 25 million players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC

The world could always use more heroes … 25 million of them, to be exact.

Blizzard announced today that its team-based Overwatch shooter has achieved over 25 million players. It launched last May for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Overwatch has become a giant hit for Blizzard that still attracts more players. It hit the 20 million player mark last October. These are great numbers for a free-to-play game on consoles and PCs … but what’s more significant here is that Overwatch is a paid product. The plain version costs $40 on PC, while the Origins Edition (available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC) costs $60 and comes with extra character skins and other cosmetics.
