Happy birthday, Overwatch.

Blizzard’s special event for the team-based shooter’s first anniversary is now live. It will go on until June 12. Since launching on May 24, 2016, Overwatch has attracted over 30 million players. It’s also a paid game, not free-to-play. The base version for PC costs $40, while Overwatch costs $60 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. So all 30 million of those players had to pay money up front to get into the game.
