For Super League, the Holidays are the Most Engaging Time of the Year!
December 18 2020 - 8:00AM
Super League Gaming (
Nasdaq:
SLGG), a global leader in competitive video gaming and
esports entertainment for everyday players, announced today
continued, large-scale growth and engagement with young gamers
through in-game events, bolstered by the launch of Minehut’s
Winter Wonderland, just in time for the holidays.
During the first three weeks of December, Super League’s
Minecraft community Minehut achieved record peaks in activity,
specifically seeing 130,000 daily active players and 20,000
concurrent players. These numbers further cement Minehut’s position
as the second largest Minecraft java network globally, according to
Minecraftservers.org. These holiday season activity levels
represent a 40% and 25% increase respectively over Summer highs, as
well as the peaks achieved at the beginning of the pandemic and
nationwide stay-at-home orders.
With in-game events becoming a pop culture trend across top game
titles, Super League continues to focus on delighting its loyal
audience through imaginative creations that celebrate key cultural
moments enjoyed by young gamers. Minehut’s Halloween
Spooktacular was attended 2.4 million times from October
19th to October 31st. The company is anticipating even higher
engagement for Winter Wonderland, a snow-covered
landscape featuring fun-to-explore holiday-themed structures and a
Play Your Way Parkour course, supported by Logitech G.
“COVID-19 has accelerated mainstream awareness of something the
gaming industry has known for many years – that video games and
gaming content are the dominant form of entertainment for people
under the age of 24,” said Matt Edelman, Chief Commercial Officer
of Super League Gaming. “We are proud to be able to give our
fast-growing insatiable audience of young gamers opportunities to
play, connect, and find more moments of joy during this holiday
season.”
Super League is seeing exciting registered user and video
viewership growth as well, with registered users up 17%, and views
across its content channels targeting young gamers on Tik Tok,
Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube up 81%, since October.
