Star Wars: The Old Republic Proves Popular for the Holidays

The Force is certainly strong with BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). According to a recent press release, SWTOR players logged over 5.5 million in-game hours over the holiday weekend and over 60 million hours of gameplay during the holiday launch week, which is roughly equivalent to watching all six Star Wars movies over 4 million times.

The dark side seems to have the numbers advantage as the release also notes that over 850,000 Sith Warriors and more than 810,000 Jedi Knights have been created. Some other impressive numbers include:

Over 260 million quests completed Over 44 million PvP battles Over 9 million space combat missions completed Over 3 billion NPCs killed

SWTOR has certainly come out the gates firing both blasters. Let’s see if they can keep that momentum surging into the New Year.
