Overwatch

Overwatch had one of the best first years ever

One of the most important games to come out in years is celebrating its first anniversary.

Overwatch came out on May 24, 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In one year, Blizzard’s team-based shooter has attracted more than 30 million players. And it’s a paid game, not free-to-play. All of these players spent at least $40 (that’s the cost of the base version on PC, while the console version goes for $60) up front.
