Free Realms has now romped to two million players, where 75 per cent are under 17-years-old.

After only just a week after an announcement that the free-to-play game Free Realms had reached one million unique users, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the PC game now homes two million players.

The game launched on April 28th, with tweens and teens logging onto the family friendly service - 75 per cent are under 17-years-old and 46 per cent under 13. The game is now one of the fastest growing online worlds, where nearly a third of players are female.

To mark the achievement, all current players will receive a 'party pack' bundle full of in-game items.

"In less than a month, Free Realms has captivated a core player base of tween and teen gamers, while also strongly resonating with MMO gamers," said John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment.

"We wanted to create a game to play with our families and are excited to have hit the mark with our intended audience."
