Amazon Games announces that Lost Ark has surpassed 20 million players worldwide (give or take a million bots). All this success has come quickly, as it's still less than a month since the official launch of the MMORPG. Here's word:

Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG recently announced that Lost Ark, the free-to-play massively multiplayer online action role-playing game, has exceeded 20 million global users. In the first three days after launching in the West, more than 4.7 million new users joined the player community, and currently more than 10 million of Lost Ark’s come from North America, Europe, South America, and Australia.

“Overall, the excitement surrounding Lost Ark from around the world is quickly gaining steam, as evidenced by the growing number of global players,” said Christoph Hartmann, VP, Amazon Games. “Together with Smilegate, we are committed to supporting the growing community with a robust roadmap of updates in the years to come.”

Lost Ark continues to be one of the most critically acclaimed games worldwide, with aggregate scores of 83 on OpenCritic and 81 on Metacritic for the game’s massive open world and quests, detailed battle system, and excellent visuals. The highest number of concurrent users was 1.32 million, the second highest in Steam history.

“Lost Ark has been well-received by experts in terms of development value and game quality, and the number of the users is steadily increasing,” said Wongil Chi, CEO, Smilegate RPG.
