Guild Wars 2 Sales Pass Two Million
Congratulations to ArenaNet for having a bona fide sales hit to go along with their critical accolades and runaway hype train.
According to a press release from publisher NCsoft, the subscription-free MMORPG has sold through more than two million units, passing that milestone shortly after the company resumed digital sales. More than 400,000 players have been regularly logged in to the game concurrently across all territories.
Guild Wars 2 topped the All Formats sales charts across ten European territories in its first week on sale.
GI's extensive experience with Guild Wars 2 indicates that all this success is more than justified. Check out our Test Chamber episode, our collection of dungeon-running tips, and details on the game's lack of subscription fee and microtransaction model for more.
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.
