Overwatch Player Count 2020 is something that a lot of people invested in the game would like to know about as the player count changes each year.

Blizzard's phenom of a game, Overwatch, draws in millions from across the globe as they look to enjoy an action-packed online multiplayer that brings stunning visuals and dramatic end of match nail-biters that will have your arms filled with goosebumps.

A week after the game was first introduced in May of 2016, the player count was recorded at seven million. Then in May of 2018, it reached at least 40 million. Data shows that over the course of 2017, the player count increased by five million almost monthly. But what's the number at now?
