League of Legends has 32 million players, now “as big as StarCraft” in Korea

Riot Games announced new stats on their playerbase today, revealing some huge numbers that dwarf every game out there, even the aging juggernaut, World of Warcraft.

Among the most impressive is certainly the 32 million active players a month, which is astronomical compared to similar games. Other statistical gems: 12 million play daily, 70 million are registered, and the “typical” peak concurrency is 3 million players, or about five times the total players in the top 100 games on Steam combined last Friday.
