In the same press release, Blizzard announced that Overwatch 2 managed to snag over 25 million players in its first ten days! According to Blizzard, OW2 has almost tripled the previous daily player peak of the first Overwatch!
Overwatch 2, Blizzard Entertainment’s cross-platform and free-to-play team-based action game, has seen over twenty-five million heroes join the fight in the first ten days since its launch on Windows® PC via Battle.net®, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Nintendo Switch™ consoles. The game has proven to be a global phenomenon, already achieving a daily player base spread near-even across EMEA, Asia, and the Americas that’s nearly triple the previous daily player peak from the original Overwatch.
Even if the game is free-to-play, that’s still a very impressive number! 
Aside from the double XP weekends, Blizzard is also giving players a free Legendary skin and a weapon charm as well. Check out the details of that here.
