Chapter 987 [Results announced on the first day of game box launch]

At about 17:00 in the afternoon, Game Box also announced the data for the first day of the platform’s launch.

In fact, just after the data of "Honor of Kings" was released in the morning, the outside world knew that the first-day data of the Game Box platform would not be bad, and would only be more eye-catching than the data of "Honor of Kings".

Because the Game Box platform has a game library of up to seven to eight thousand new and old games covering different categories, whether it is players who are reminiscing about their feelings or players who are chasing current popular new games, they can find their favorite games in it, and the game library also has More new games will be added continuously.

Star Capital’s acquisition journey has not stopped yet.

Data shows that on the first day that Game Box was launched, the number of daily active players in the Chinese server was about 39.85 million, and the total number of users was about 61.47 million. This result is absolutely explosive.

But having said that, Game Box’s national server was able to reach more than 60 million users on the first day it was launched. Domestic Blizzard players contributed more than half of the data. Because it was negotiated with Netizen a month ago, Blizzard’s national server Battle.net quickly Out of service, Battle.net data was moved to the game box.

According to previous internal data from Netizen Blizzard, the number of users of the Chinese Blizzard Battle.net server has reached 35 million. Of course, the real number of players must be less than this, because some players have multiple Battle.net accounts at the same time, but these 35 million The accounts are real and have been moved to Game Box. Original Blizzard players can use these Battle.net accounts to log in directly to the Game Box platform without registering again.

Therefore, the "move" of Blizzard Battle.net players as a whole directly brought 35 million users to the Game Box platform. This is why Fang Hong did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy Activision Blizzard.

This is just the national server. Activision Blizzard has more than 360 million players worldwide, and they are just waiting for the European, Asian and American servers to come online.

Excluding the contribution of Blizzard Battle.net in the Chinese server, there were about 26.47 million users who registered new accounts on the first day of the launch of Game Box. This is still a very explosive real incremental result. Among them, the mobile game "Honor of Kings" contributed the most. There is no doubt that. This one game contributed more than 10 million user increases.

The nearly 40 million daily active users are the largest contributors to the Blizzard series of game players. The game box was launched on the May Day holiday yesterday. After the closure of Blizzard Battle.net a month ago, Blizzard players have been unable to play games online for a month. , coincides with the holiday.

As soon as the game box went online, everyone couldn't wait to log in and install "World of Warcraft", "Diablo", "StarCraft 2", "Hearthstone" and other games under Blizzard Entertainment.

These Blizzard Entertainment games alone have more than 15 million daily active players.

There are three most important lists on the right side of the homepage of the Game Box platform.

The first is the overall list:

This list is the total performance ranking of the platform's games since they were launched on the game box. The ranking is a comprehensive ranking weighted by core indicators such as total downloads and total online time of all players.

This list represents the most grossing games on the platform, and represents a game’s overall money-attracting ability. Games on this list must not only have strong money-attracting ability, but also have strong enough ability to continuously attract money to be on the list.

The second one is the weekly list:

As the name suggests, this is a ranking list of the best-selling games that have received critical acclaim within a week on the computing platform. The ranking rules are based on weighted indicators such as download volume, online rate, online time, and word-of-mouth ratings. It represents the current gaming experience that players are currently playing. Popular game titles that are both popular and popular.

Game Box had previously planned to publish monthly and annual lists, but in the end it was canceled because it did not require too many dazzling lists. It only retained the weekly lists and added a game honor wall to record the results of a game, such as a The game has been on the weekly list for N weeks in total, and its highest ranking during the list period reached Nth place, etc.

The third is the score list:

This ranking represents the reputation of the game. The highest score is based on a 10-point scale. Players need to download a game and have at least one hour of game play before they can rate the game.

A single player account only records one score, and cannot re-score it repeatedly. However, players can modify the score they have given before without limit. For example, if they score 7 points at the beginning, they can modify it to 9 points if they feel it is too low later. If you feel that the score is too high after a while, you can modify it again to 8 points. In addition, there is a correction mechanism for downgrading and weighting based on the number of ratings. This is to avoid the situation where only one person gets a perfect score for a certain game and then ranks first. .

The three major lists on the homepage of the platform are all very valuable. Any game that can be included in these three lists must be both popular and popular, otherwise it will be difficult to get on the list.

Especially being among the top ten means being exposed on the homepage of the permanent platform, because the three major lists only display the top ten game works. After that, you can only click "More" below to go to the secondary page to view the subsequent rankings. , don't underestimate this "more", just with so many clicks, the exposure rate of the second-level page will be greatly reduced, which cannot be compared with the traffic exposure of the first-level home page.

The two lists, the overall list and the rating list, will gradually stabilize as the time period lengthens.

Especially in the overall list, it is difficult for games that are ranked high to be pushed down. Only those phenomenal and super-popular masterpieces can achieve the feat of being airborne, but there may not be one or two such works released every year.

The weekly list changes every week, so being in the top ten and showing up on the homepage is huge traffic exposure, and it’s free exposure.

Because all players who log in to the game box have to face the homepage directly, the more users the platform has, the greater the traffic exposure of the homepage will be.

New players or players who are bored and looking for new games to play usually scan the rankings first. The higher the ranking of a game, the greater the probability of being "flipped" by players, which in turn can further push the ranking position upwards. The two are positive. Related.

There are only these three lists on the homepage, but the secondary classification page of the Game Box platform also has classification lists. By clicking on the game library, players can easily find the games they want to play among the massive game works in the game library.

The platform classifies various game types in the game library, such as sandbox, MOBA, RTS, FPS, console, mobile games, role-playing, etc.

The same game may also appear in multiple categories at the same time. For example, "Honor of Kings", a hugely popular new phenomenon-level game, is included in both the MOBA category and the mobile game category.

Each category has a ranking list that mirrors the three lists on the homepage, which is equivalent to a category sub-list, namely the overall category list, the category weekly list and the category rating list. The category sub-list represents the performance of this game in its category. Competitive rankings, the three major lists on the homepage represent the competitive rankings of all games on the entire platform.
