Sony has announced that its MMO Free Realms has hit over nine million registered players.
This represents impressive growth for Sony's free-to-play MMO, having announced only 3 million users users in June last year.
"With Free Realms, we've been able to reflect the needs and wants of our players by keenly listening to their suggestions and feedback," said John Smedley, president of SOE.
"We believe the persistent exercise of capturing in-game research inside Free Realms has been a huge contributing factor as to why we've attracted over nine million players in less than a year. It truly helps us give our players a game where they can do and be whatever they want."
