hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus dotnet and today we're talking about October's most played pc games as measured by Raptor now raptor of course is not the most used social platform in gaming but it does give us a good cross-section of the pc gaming world right now and sort of relatively what the most popular titles are so first of all we've got League of Legends Holdings drawn in first place as the most played pc game for october and really the rest of the time that it's existed and it currently holds about twenty-two percent of the total share of players on raptors service that is a massive chunk of the user base World of Warcraft is measured at eight point five percent of the share do note that the WoW expansion that just shift the Warlord's expansion is not not counted in this because it's shipped in November so we won't have those metrics until next month in December and I'm curious to see how far Wow rises as a result of that dota 2 of strong at five point six percent csgo actually rose a little bit it's up to 3.8 now and I think that rise can be attributed to the new vanguard release that was just put out for four players although I'm not sure if that was out in time for October but players were certainly training up and getting ready for it so that is a factor are caged up two to three point two percent of the share and that just shipped in September in North America and has ascended two spots to round out the top five now there's also Diablo 3 which we were not big fans of d3 i'm sad to say because i really wanted to like it but it just wasn't good in terms of the story or at launch things have improved a bit and blizzard just ran a fifty percent off sale on its expansion reaper of souls but despite this plate i'm actually declined almost fifty percent so they fell from about six percent playtime to about three percent of the of the player base in terms of total time played and in other interesting news payday 2 jumps in nearly 20 slots this month or this past month as a result of Keanu Reeves you can now play counter character from John wick in payday 2 which has theoretically gotten some players but more importantly it's it's because payday 2 is offering all kinds of new missions and daily promotions and did so throughout October so that was a pretty big reason for its increase Borderlands the pre-sequel which I am NOT a big fan of that's pretty common knowledge is new on the charts and landed at set point seven seven percent in place 18 middle-earth shadow of Mordor a game that our reviews editor loved is also on the list at number 19 and tf2 very impressive holding strong at 20th a game that is the really the oldest one up there next to wow those two are pretty damn old boast both are in the decade or approaching a decade for age dropping out of the list our path of Exile civ 5 which makes sense because beyond our is just shipped Skyrim which makes sense because it's old but really it's quite impressive that held on for so long and the sims for a game that i really can't speak to so that's our list of the top played pc games for october as according to rafter and let us know what you think of this type of industry related content I can certainly produce more of it and I will see you all next time peace
