Publisher nDreams has said that the PlayStation Home virtual environment Aurora has been visited million times in just six weeks. The virtual archipelago within Home allows players to enter and play games for free, win rewards and purchase islands of their own, with options for a free Aurora Orbrunner as part of the PSN Welcome Back program.
“We’re very proud of Aurora and the success it has had so far. We certainly didn’t expect to have so many visitors in such a short timeframe,” said nDreams CEO Patrick O’Luanaigh. “The space itself is still in a very early stage; we have so much more planned for Aurora, and we’ll be adding to it regularly. We’re huge proponents of virtual worlds and believe they offer a great way to escape from the stresses and strains of real-life without having to jump on a plane. And we believe that the next decade will see rapid growth in the number and the quality of virtual world experiences available online.”
