Overwatch beta weekend that allowed in additional players compared to the closed beta that's been running since late October saw players spending a total of 129 years playing. That huge number has been revealed by game director Jeff Kaplan. It amounts to 1130040 hours of playtime. Most likely invaluable to Blizzard as the move ahead towards the full launch next spring.
