At its Ubisoft Forward conference yesterday, the publisher announced that its esports platform, Rainbow Six Siege, had reached 60 million players in total, more than four years after its release.

So these are the 60 million players who were officially reached yesterday, on all platforms combined. For comparison, Overwatch has 40 million players and PUBG, 50 million (not counting its mobile version, which generates billions).
