Since its launch back in late May, Overwatch has been nothing short of a massive, well-received success. Blizzard’s first-person online multiplayer shooter has a ton of charm to it, and with over 20 different characters to choose from, there’s something for everyone. And with the company continuing to shower the game with content support, there’s no wonder why this game continues to go strong even two months after release.

According to the official Overwatch Twitter account, there are now 15 million players across all platforms – PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Blizzard recently released a new sniper support hero, Ana Amari, completely for free for all players, and the game’s first seasonal event is now underway. The Summer Games 2016 will be running until August 22, and there are strong hints that another new hero might be joining the diverse character roster very soon. Blizzard has also promised that there will be even more seasonal events coming to the game down the line.

Overwatch is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
