Today Activision released its financial results for the first quarter of calendar year 2017 (if you’re wondering, Activision doesn’t use “fiscal years” like most other companies), ended on March 31st, 2017.

You can check out the numbers below, and they’re all in the black, defined “better-than-expected” and “record.”

Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick topped the press release with a statement about the publisher’s performance in the beginning of the year, boasting a good reception for the reveals of Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: WWII.

“This quarter we delivered record revenues, earnings per share and cash flow, and over‐performed guidance. Among the drivers of our results was Overwatch, which now has over 30 million players globally. The Overwatch League is gaining momentum and weʹre excited to offer our community of players the best professional league experience. Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: WWII are also coming later this year, and both reveals have been very well received by fans.ʺ

The announcement also included a batch of bullet points, summarizing the most relevant achievements of the publisher’s label and games during the first quarter. Overwatch is mentioned at 30 million global players, while “very strong starts” are mentioned for pre-orders of Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: WWII.
