A few weeks ago Sony Online Entertainment released their much anticipated superhero game, DC Universe Online (DCUO).
Raptr, a popular game tracking application, has released some new playtime stats for DC Universe Online. For gamers using the Raptr PC client to track their gameplay hours with the new MMORPG, we’ve uncovered some interesting data comparing the game with other popular titles.

The data pulled from the DC Universe Online gametime statistics include:

- Top 10 other games that DCUO players play

1. World of Warcraft
2. League of Legends

4. Call of Duty: Black Ops
5. Eve Online
6. Lord of the Rings Online
7. Champions Online
8. Aion
9. Red Dead Redemption
10. Star Trek Online

We see that DCUO players have a particular bend for multiplayer games. While there are a number of MMORPGs listed, it’s interesting to see some FPS, and RTS in the mix
