It's hard to believe that Overwatch came out a whole-ass eight years ago. I was still a young and spry college student, blissfully unaware of just how little time I had left to comfortably enjoy hunching over a monitor for 10+ hours playing a Korean streamer in a giant mech.

Me and 99,999,999 other folk, it seems. Blizzard revealed in a blog post that it recently surpassed 100 million players across Overwatch 1 and 2 combined. Mathematicians assure me that's a large number, putting it up there with games like Call of Duty: Warzone and fellow Blizzard game Hearthstone. The shift to free-to-play with the sequel's release has no doubt been a big boost, but 100 million folk passing by your game at some point is no small feat. While Hearthstone players were treated to free card packs for the occasion, Blizzard's going down a more sentimental route for Overwatch players. The developer's knocked together a little personalised montage video that'll show you the various stats you've accumulated as far back as the original game's 2016 launch.
