Since its release on May 24, more than 7 million people have played Overwatch across Xbox One, PC and PS4, Blizzard announced yesterday. The studio called it “one of the most successful global game launch of all time” reaching 199 million hours of gameplay.

Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaine has commented the following:

“Over the months and weeks leading up to release we saw a lot of love and support for Overwatch—from Blizzard gamers, FPS fans, and people who’d never picked up a game like this before—and we’re very grateful for everyone’s incredible passion and enthusiasm.

We poured a lot of effort into creating a game—and a new universe—that anyone could enjoy. We’re ecstatic to have had such a successful launch, and we’re looking forward to all of the fun, competition, and new content still to come.”
