DC Universe Online has only been around for a year, but in that time, they’ve managed to become a real contender in the MMO world.

Yesterday, Sony Online Entertainment celebrated the one-year anniversary of DC Universe, and used the occasion as an excuse to show off some of their latest statistics. According to Sony, DCUO has been racking up some pretty impressive numbers:

  • More than 3.5 million Heroes, more than 2 million Villains

  • More than 1.8 million registered players on PC, and more than 2.3 million registered players on PS3

  • 3.6 million days of playtime total by all players in-game

  • More than 1,200 new NPC characters added since launch

  • More than 200 new quests added since launch

  • More than 2,500 new items added since launch

  • More than 15 new zones added since launch

  • More than 1,800 new encounters since launch


    Lorin Jameson, Executive Director of Development at Sony Online Entertainment, also got the chance to brag a little: “We broke a lot of new ground with last year’s launch of DC Universe Online, both by successfully creating the first PS3 MMO community and adding true action combat to the genre,” she said. “The free-to-play transition at the end of last year is a proof point that our community is stronger and larger than ever. We are very proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far and look forward to continuously striving to improve the game.”

    In celebration of DCUO’s one-year anniversary, players will be receiving a bit of in-game swag: a one-of-a-kind One Year Anniversary Cape that features a number “1” on the back.

    So, DC Universe Online fans had better log on and equip that cape. It’s what all the cool kids are doing.
