Some Interesting Stats From DC Universe Online Going Free to Play

[Shawn Zipay]

Sony Online Entertainment released some interesting statistics today that details what a huge success DC Universe Online has been since it went free-to-play. The beautiful thing is that even though it is now F2P, the daily revenues went way up! This is largely due to the availability of optional marketplace items that users can purchase.

• 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

All of these facts, and more, can be found on John Smedley's Twitter page.

I like this game... but not enough to pay a monthly sub for it... so I'll just do the free to play until SWTOR comes out =)

Didnt the same thing happen with TF2? Everything went up greatly. Did that ever level out or stop dropping? I imagine no information on that was probably given.
