<p><a class="autolink" title="Overwatch" href="http://ift.tt/2g3eUH2">Overwatch</a> has now seen over 30 million players.</p>
<p>Blizzard announced the major milestone on <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/858002935820582912" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the official Twitter account for Overwatch</a>. The team-based shooter has added 5 million people over the past three months, since <a href="http://ift.tt/2kAifPd" target="_blank">Overwatch passed 25 million players</a> back in January.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks for grouping up with us, heroes,&#8221; Blizzard tweeted out. &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t ask for a better team.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s more to celebrate for the game as well. Overwatch is nearing its first anniversary, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2pVwK2C" target="_blank">IGN has looked back over the shooter&#8217;s past year</a>.</p>
<p>Now looking forward, Blizzard is <a href="http://ift.tt/2oYRxkm" target="_blank">working on three new maps for Overwatch</a>. And game director Jeff Kaplan recently said <a href="http://ift.tt/2pl0qFo" target="_blank">the Oni Genji and Officer D.Va skins will come to standard loot boxes</a> for the game, meaning it won&#8217;t be necessary to play Heroes of the Storm to obtain them.</p>
<p>The seasonal event called <a href="http://ift.tt/2p4pq12" target="_blank">Uprising is happening right now in Overwatch</a>.</p>
