Overwatch Reaches a Staggering 15 Million Players

By Keith MitchellAugust 4, 2016
Overwatch

From some game called “Project Titan”, to some silly team based FPS, Overwatch has become one of the most successful games in recent history. And that’s no small feat. Speaking of feats, Blizzard has announced that Overwatch now has 15 million players, though I’d wager to say that it’s probably more than that. Despite the setbacks, everyone seems addicted to the magic formula in the hopes of earning that one skin. The only problem seems to be that now there are even more skins to ogle over. 

So congrats to the Overwatch team for making what I can safely say, my favorite multiplayer game in quite some time. If you haven’t played the game yet, you should definitely check it out. It’s available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Cheers, Luv!

Over 15 million Overwatch players? Whoo! Get HYPE!
