Overwatch Touts 30 Million Player Threshold
Anyone plugged into gaming these days knows Overwatch is doing quite well, but lest you forget just how well it’s doing, Blizzard passed along a tweet today declaring that the game has crossed the 30 million player line, and it’s continuing to grow.
Blizzard posted a message of thanks on its official Overwatch twitter account, declaring: “More than 30 million players have charged into Overwatch! Thanks for grouping up with us, heroes. We couldn’t ask for a better team.” The tweet came along with a gif of Reinhart in full-on charge mode.

Our Take
Overwatch is a great base game, but it's Blizzard's continued commitments to updates, additions, and improvements that help the game continue to grow.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
