Neverwinter Celebrates 2 Months and 2 Million Players on PlayStation With Events

The folks at Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios sent us a PR e-mail to inform us that Neverwinter already garnered 2 million players on PlayStation 4 since launch (impressive data, though it's worth noting that it's easier for a free-to-play title to get those kind of numbers and harder to retain them) and that they will be celebrating the game's two months of permanence on Sony's platform with a series of events like community giveaways and double bonuses. You can find more details in the press release below:
