Because it exists in something of a bubble, outside of the normal video game release schedules and news channels, itās often difficult for outsiders to grasp just how freaking huge PC game League of Legends has become.
So hereās a reminder: it is freaking huge
Developers Riot Games have released some user data for the game, and while itās normally the kind of thing to roll your eyes at and then completely ignore, the sheer scale of these make them worth pointing out.
They say there are 32 million active players. Impressive, but āactiveā is a very flexible term (Riot says itās users who have played at least one game in a month). Itās when you hear that twelve million of them play every single day that you do a double-take. And when they say that thereās an average of three million players in League of Legends āconcurrentlyā, your jaw hits the floor.
All of this leads Riot to proclaim that LoL is, at least in terms of cumulative hours player per month, the āmost played video game in the worldā.
You can see all of that, along with some looser figures, in the infographic below, whose timely release Iām sure has absolutely nothing to do with a rather forgettable week of news surrounding the game
