Blizzard isn’t being shy about touting Overwatch on its second birthday. Not one bit. And you know what birthdays call for in the games industry? That’s right: One big honking infographic loaded with huge numbers!

According to the studio, Overwatch has racked up 40 million players in its first two years. The game has grown substantially as well, with the addition of six heroes, 15 maps, four game modes, six seasonal events, and over 2,050 items.

With such a successful product under its belt, is Blizzard considering an Overwatch sequel? The studio was predictably cagey when Gamespot asked the question, saying, “At least for the time being, [supporting Overwatch] is our focus right now, and we’re excited to work on this game.”
