DFC Intelligence says that Dota 2 is now the most played “core” PC title, passing League of Legends. Both MOBA titles are by far the most played PC titles, with World of Warcraft coming in an distant third.
“Usage of League of Legends has been steady the past year and surprisingly the huge success of Dota 2 did not seem to cut into its popularity as much as would be expected,” said DFC analyst Jeremy Miller.
The last quarter saw combined usage of the top 20 PC games up 22 percent year-on-year and up 8 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. “The past year has seen numerous blockbuster PC games that have really helped drive usage,” added DFC analyst David Cole. “This includes among others Diablo III, Guild Wars 2, Battlefield 3, Minecraft, World of Tanks and Valve’s Counter-Strike series.”
