Over 70 million people have played Hearthstone now, and that's not the only milestone for the collectible card game.

Blizzard also announced that Hearthstone broke a record for most simultaneous players at one time, thanks to the Journey to Un'Goro expansion. To celebrate, the company is rewarding players — old and new — with card packs.

"We’re humbled and grateful that so many players have chosen to join us for some Hearthstone fun," Blizzard said. "As our way of saying thanks, starting today through the end of May, everyone who logs in will receive three free Journey to Un’Goro card packs."

Back in 2015, Blizzard revealed that Hearthstone had reached 30 million players. So the game has more than doubled its player base in almost exactly two years.
