Overwatch unveils Halloween event as it passes 20 million players

Don’t worry, loves, the cosmetics are here!

Blizzard has launched a Halloween event for its team-based shooter, which launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in May. The developer also noted that Overwatch has passed 20 million players, making it one of the game industry’s biggest hits of the year. Since Overwatch is a premium title, not free-to-play, all of those players had to pay for it — $40 for the base game, $60 for the Origins Edition with its extra character skins, and the $130 Collector’s Edition with its soundtrack, statue, and other goodies.
