Happy Birthday, DC Universe Online!

DC Universe Online turns one today! The game launched on January 11, 2011, and Sony Online Entertainment has released a series of interesting stats in order to celebrate.

According to SOE, DC Universe Online has celebrated the following milestones:

• More than 3.5 million Heroes, more than 2 million Villains
• More than 1.8 million registered players on PC, and more than 2.3 million registered players on PS3
• 3.6 million days of playtime total by all players in-game

SOE also announced that players will receive a unique One Year Anniversary cape to celebrate. The cape has a "1" on the back, and according to SOE, "the cape will be granted to players through their mission journal on January 11th. The character must exist on the 11th to be eligible to receive the mission. However, players do not need to log in on the 11th; as long as the character exists on the 11th, players will receive the mission the next time they log in."

DC Universe Online is currently free to play. Its newest update was released earlier this week.
