DC Universe Online Continues To See Growth
It appears going Free-to-Play is the best way if you have a struggling MMO game on your hands.
Since removing the monthly subscription costs earlier this month, DC Universe Online continues to see growth in its revenue and active players. Sony Online Entertainment recently announced it gained one million users in just a matter of days since going free-to-play.
The company passed along additional statistics today:
- DCUO's player base grow by 6% a day
- 700% increase in daily revenue (47% PC / 53% PS3)
- Percentage of European players has grown from 20% to 50% of daily log-ins
- More than 85% of daily log-ins are returning players
- Most popular marketplace items are: Vanguard of the Heavens character skin & Additional Character Slots
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
