Neverwinter Boasts 12 Million Players Across All Platforms

Things are looking way up for the free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons themed MMO Neverwinter. Today, publisher Perfect World announced that the game now has over 12 million players scattered across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. 7 million of these players play on the long standing PC version, however, with less than two months under its belt the PS4 version already has more than 2 million players of its own. Xbox One supplies another 3 million to that 12 million total.

Neverwinter's popularity ties into that of the currently booming appreciation of Dungeons & Dragons as a whole. Developer Cryptic Studios works in conjunction with Wizards of the Coast to bring the story lines of the game together with that of other D&D content, including those in novels and the tabletop game's narrative.
