Blizzard Entertainment’s hero shooter Overwatch continues to build its player base with the company announcing 35 million players in total across its three platforms.
Overwatch released to enormous fanfare in 2016, hitting 20 million registered players by November 2016 and doing so faster than any other Blizzard title till that point.
