In partnership with our good friends at the PlayStation.Blog, we’ve combined forces (and blog posts) to reveal some stats from our recent Anniversary event and
Last weekend, we held our first Anniversary Event to celebrate one year since the release of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, and I think we’d be understating things to say it was anything but a rousing success! All of us at Naughty Dog wanted to thank everyone (again) who went online to participate in our Anniversary Event – getting the Anniversary Drake skin, along with mega-cash, in return – and made it such a special day for the Dogs to spend with our fan community.
We pulled a few amazing stats from the Anniversary Event we thought you’d like to know:
- We recorded over 2.5 man years of game time in a period of just 24 hours (1 game that lasts 20 minutes = 20 minutes, regardless of how many players in the game)
- Those 2.5 years came from 1,079,850 player games (10 players in a game = 10 player games)
- We also saw 12,376,755 kills during our Anniversary Event (that’s strictly pvp – NPC kills in co-op games aren’t recorded)
- Everyone benefited from the 5x cash bonus and no cash cap, accumulating a collective $49 BILLION in in-game cash – which would rank UNCHARTED 2 about #70 in the list of countries by GDP
- I only completed 66% of my 24 hour straight personal challenge (total #FAIL)
Last week also saw the release of the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Game of the Year Edition (psst! you can order your copy here or visit your local brick and mortar), although a few of our eagle eyed community members noticed that our most recent DLC releases – the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Sidekick Skins Pack and UNCHARTED 2 Dynamic Theme – wasn’t included as part of the value-priced, DLC-packed retail release.
To rectify this, we’re going to hold a few giveaways really soon to give our fans – release-day veterans or GOTY Edition newbs – a shot at snagging both these DLC releases! Follow @PlayStation and @Naughty_Dog on Twitter and keep a close watch next week for more details!

We have at least a “The Lab” scheduled for that weekend. Check back next week when we discuss the Lab to see if we’ve got more going on.

hey arne speaking of Twitter, are you guys at ND thinking of putting back the Twitter integration into Uncharted 2? I think a lot of people would love to have it back! Showing off Medals, completed chapters - and oh don’t forget, the amount of money earned for a day - and even trophies!!
pleas get back to me!!

I think it’s the total opposite, you see.
On Twitter, you type your tweet, click “Tweet”, you’re done - easy to repost other tweets; it’s not ugly, far from it, pretty well-made interface, just got to learn how to use it, like you learn to use Facebook. Plus, you don’t have to put any personal data on Twitter, which I do appreciate, contrary to Facebook.
That’s my opinion, but it boils down to Twitter being very simple.
