TOP 10 PC GAMES 2014 PATCH
The October bump, reported today, was likely due to the pre-expansion patch and promotional events.ĭiablo III, the other Blizzard title on this chart, lost three places (and almost half of its play time) this month. World of Warcraft is expected to jump further due to its Warlords of Draenor expansion that released in early November. This means that League of Legends dropped from being 195% more popular than WoW to being 160% more popular. The second place contender, World of Warcraft, jumped from 7.63% of total game time to 8.53%. As such, it will probably over-represent MMOs, MOBAs, and other multiplayer games… unless you are looking for aggregate game time, which is exactly what this survey provides (and sales figures are bad at determining).įrom last month, League of Legends lost a bit of share, down from 22.54% of total to 22.25%. It is weighted by the average session length per user and how frequently the average user plays it, and not just how many people use it. It should be noted that, because game-hours are the recorded metric, it is not necessarily a good experiment to judge sales figures from. It allows a comparison developers, publishers, and distribution platforms, as long as the average Raptr user is representative of that market. Because its purpose is recording game footage, adjusting quality settings, and so forth, it is not limited to any specific catalog of games. The PC gaming utility, Raptr, tracks the time its users spend playing titles and aggregates it into a monthly press release.
