Overwatch reaches more than 20 million players.

Blizzard has announced a new milestone that Overwatch reached, more than 20 million players have registered accounts for the hero-based shooter. Earlier in the year the open beta alone racked up nearly 10 million players, when the game launched on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One in May, Blizzard touted some 7 million players had played the game’s retail release in its first week.
This milestone was achieved in just 5 months and surprisingly Overwatch has some catching up to do compared to other Blizzard games. Hearthstone has reached 50 million players, so Overwatch isn’t far behind and is on a pretty good pace. 7 months from now who knows what the numbers could be.
