Eurogamer hits 1.8 million users per month, hires MMO editor

Eurogamer Network's readership reached 1,835,202 unique users in November, according to a new ABCe audit. For the same month, the property turned over 14,763,018 page impressions. The figures include Eurogamer.net, Eurogamer.de and Eurogamer.fr. The unique user figure has risen by over 500,000 users, up from 1,317,522 for the same period last year.

The numbers put Eurogamer well ahead of last figures released by Future-published rival CVG, which last year claimed 1,560,247 unique users and 11,472,341 page impressions for May, again, from an ABCe audit. The figure, however, was for "The CVG Network", which includes over ten sites.

“We’re very pleased to have added over half a million monthly unique users this year," said EG MD, Rupert Loman. "It is proof that our European strategy is starting to pay off and underlines the effort our entire team has put in to the site.”

In addition, Loman confirmed the addition of respected UK journalist Oli Welsh to the team as MMO editor, a newly formed position.
