As 2011 comes to an end, we follow up our most pirated movies and TV-shows charts by taking a look at the most pirated games of the year. Crysis 2 comes out on top in the PC games category in 2011. On Xbox 360 Gears of War 3 receives the same honor, while Super Mario Galaxy 2 scoops the title of most pirated Wii game for the second year in a row.

In February, more than a month before its scheduled release date, and advance copy of Crysis 2 leaked on the Internet. Crytek and EA were hugely disappointed and feared a piracy fest, but the opposite was true.

Although tens of thousands of people downloaded a copy, the real boom came when the full version was released in March, resulting in nearly 4 million downloads by the end of the year.

This ‘success’ landed Crysis 2 the title of most pirated game of 2011 on the PC platform, beating Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 with 3,650,000 and 3,510,000 downloads respectively. Interestingly enough, the interest among pirates in the Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2 was relatively low and the game didn’t make it into the top 5 there.

On the Xbox 360 the title of most pirated game goes to Gears of War 3. This game was released in September and amassed a total of 890,000 downloads. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 also came in second and third on the Xbox 360.

On the Wii platform ‘Mario’ titles traditionally come out on top, and this year is no exception. Super Mario Galaxy 2, released in 2010, becomes the most pirated Wii game for the second year in a row. With 1,180,000 downloads it comes just in front of Mario Sports Mix, which was pirated 1,090,000 times since February.

As can be seen from the three lists below, PC games are by far the most downloaded titles, with on average more than three times the number of downloads compared to Xbox 360 and Wii releases. Overall, the number of downloads of the top titles in each category is slightly lower than last year. The platforms that are not mentioned, such as the PS3, get considerably less downloads and are excluded for that reason.

The data for these estimated download numbers is collected by TorrentFreak from several sources, including reports from all public BitTorrent trackers.

I only got BF3 because I found it for £22, otherwise I would have been one of the downloaders.

After finding out EA supports SOPA though, I will not be buying from them again.
- Reader
  
  EA officially support SOPA? I don’t recall seeing them in the list..
  
  I knew I disliked them for a reason, but this only furthers my hatred!

      a list of doomed companies, IMO
      
      not because of any potential boycott, but because they’re lead by ignorant technophobes who fear the digital revolution.
      
      they’re like an alliance of early caveman opposed to the use of fire.

  That my friend is why we dl in the first place.
  
  If the big company’s prices get better we will just buy the damn things.
  - Lies
    
    That is a huge lie. For some reason people feel as if they have the right to steal games but you don’t. Every once in a while there is something called the “Humble Indie Bundle”. This is where they let you choose the price you pay for a set of games. You can pay one penny for everything or actually support the people that make games you enjoy and pay a decent amount. With that said there is still scum that will steal these games. It is truly pathetic.
    - guest
      
      you know its not stealing its called piracy because you dont actually *steal* the game if anything its a copy of it. whats the difference you may ask? well piracy copies the original while stealing means you steal the original. but i do agree on supporting developers but some dont deserve it like call of duty. besides to be honest reason you would ever pirate a game is to try it before buying it aka i pirated BF3 and it was amazing so i thought ill buy it. but i guess not everyone has money too. remember at least one pirate has to buy the game before he can distribute it online and i dont remember those stealing sharing the glory with others?
    - NotANON
      
      And lots more people pay more than the recommended price. Sharing and caring about others is built into the emotional rewards systems of social animals (which humans are). Content creators need not worry unless the MPAA and RIAA have their way and make it unfashionable to share and care for each other to such a degree that it overrides our genetic predisposition.
    - Vgamesx1
      
      yeah same for me I played some of the MW games and I did like them but the campains were way to short therefore I didn’t think it was worth my $40+ to get a game that is mainly based on its MP, however I did do the same with crysis 1 and I loved it some I got it.
  - Guest
    
    So does that mean I can go into the BestBuy and steal a 60″ TV and tell them “well if it was cheaper i would pay for it!”?? No… its stealing, downloading games, music, movies is stealing… I download BUT if I enjoy the movie, I BUY it… if I like the music, I will BUY the song!!! If i like the game I will BUY it!!
    - Guest
      
      Fail.
      
      If you go into Best Buy and take a 60″ TV without paying for it, that’s stealing because now Best Buy doesn’t have the TV anymore.
      
      If you go into Best Buy and make a copy the 60″ TV, that isn’t stealing because Best Buy still has the TV.
      
      Try logic, it’ll do you good.
    - Vgamesx1
      
      yeah.. that kinda is a fail… since software isn’t something you can touch.
      so making a copy of it is as easy as copy paste, like tv.txt can be copied from C: to C:Windows and you have 2 of them.
      
      heres a much better example, I have a ps3 and my best friend has a ps3 and we share a game is that stealing? he might not own it and I do but I gave it to him, then he gives it back, therefore no stealing is going on here but someone is still losing money, the companies do not want you doing this but they can’t really stop it either.
    - AssaultSugar
      
      dont bother pirates will always defend there stealing
      
      stealing a TV=best buy no longer has the TV or the money
      Pirating a game=they never got the money say a game costed 10 million dollars to make and only 10 people bought it and the rest pirated wheres the profit?
  - Vgamesx1
    
    yes, if only the companies would get a clue… I would be more inclined to buy a lot more games.
    like the newest games atm MW3, BF3, and Skrim are the first to come to mind
    all cost $60 for me to buy them, do I want to spend what little money I have to buy one of them? no.. I would much rather spend $10 – $20 and get a game that would entertain me for about as long, (only one of those worth the money would be skyrim) both BF3 and COD have a short about 6 hour campain which most gamers can finish within a day if I wanted 6 hours of fun I would rather play 6 – 10 flash games for free…
    
    if they get a clue and sell games at no higher than $40 then they would have a lot less piracy and I would actually pay up to that much for a good game, like portal 2.

  I believe Rockstar Games supports SOPA too but I’m not 100% certain…
  
  Can anyone confirm?
  Given their obsession with SecuROM, I wouldn’t be surprised. Phucktards!

I Wish TorrentFreak had factual numbers to compare what gets pirated more PC or consoles? Probally PS3 since you can download straight to your hard drive. Happy New Year Everyone!!!
- ZiggySig
  
  Newsflash: you can download straight to your HDD on PC too! Crazy, right?
  - http://www.facebook.com/jhborden James H Borden
    
    Well no shit jackass didnt think I had to mention the obvious. But good job at trolling :) Also if you can comprehend I was hinting at PS3 hdd compared to wii and 360 how easier it is compared to burning disc.
    - ZiggySig
      
      I’m sorry, if you feel insulted, but I really don’t understand your first comment. Are you talking about comparing PC vs Consoles piracy? Then you state something about PS3…
      
      First, the numbers are there. At least for XBox360 and Wii. I’ve never been interested in consoles, but I was told once, that it is harder to pirate games for PS3, than XBox360, and TorrentFreak’s statement about small download numbers could hint, that it is true. Don’t forget, that Sony intentionally hindered some of their console functionality just to combat piracy.
      
      So again, what was your initial interest? And trust me, if you’re ready to fiddle with your console, and risk being banned on their networks, burning a disc is one of your least concerns.
    - RIAAtarded
      
      m8 you’re talking out of what you’re sitting on. Both the WII and the XBOX360 have the ability to play games from a hard drive. Who burns shit anymore?
      360 has had jtags for years, GOD mode games, Glitcher hack, hell you can play 360 games off a network location and the WII has had a USB loader for the homebrew channel for just as long.
    - http://twitter.com/AROAH AROAH
      
      You can also play Wii games off of an external hard drive. I do it all the time. Only current-gen console you need to burn discs for is the 360.
- Davio
  
  Downloading straight off the PS3 isn’t pirating, idiot.

    Thats not what i’m talking about you rude piece of shit go dry up some where and turn to dust and then fade from existence.
- http://www.facebook.com/jhborden James H Borden
  
  My point was just to wish everyone a happy new year and wonder about pc vs console pirating statistics…………..fucking trollz go crawl back under your bridge now.

Quite surprised by the top 5 PC downloads. Neither downloaded nor bought any of those games. The top 3 are your same old generic shooters and then you got the latest edition of FIFA crap. People should try out LA Noire, something refreshing and with this title Rockstar has hit a home run again.
- Herptyderp
  
  I can’t haz headshot?
- Meh
  
  Too linear.
- BooBooKittyPhuck
  
  LA Noire is excellent – reminds me of a cross between Mafia 1 & 2 where you play the “good guy” hahaha…
  
  Seriously, great story and it’s complete – unlike Mafia 2 which was butchered.
  Phuck you, 2K Games.

      First of all, that Guest was not me, it was an impostor.
      
      I was refering to entertainment in GENERAL. Gaming just like watching TV is a problem because it keeps people ignorant about important issues, it prevents society from evolving. You cry about MAFIAA and Co but the fact is that you can’t live without their products.
      
      If you want society to evolve you must kill or at least reduce ENTERTAINMENT a lot.
      
      But yeah, keep playing games and watching TV… After all => ignorance is bliss.

  news flash, if humans didn’t exist the world would be a MUCH more perfect place.
  - Friend of the People
    
    Well, it wouldn’t be a more perfect place, it would just be a place without humans. Then, the only things committing war crimes and atrocities against each other would be the animals. And boy, animals can sure commit a good atrocity.
    - Cocks
      
      Humans undoubtedly cause the greatest damage to the environment. Humans are the cause of many species going extinct or on the verge of extinction, thus hampering the ecological balance. Humans are responsible for destroying habitats of wildlife and deforestation. The list goes on… Its no secret that Mother Earth would would breathe better without the us humans with only destruction and damage in mind. So please don’t compare animals who are far better than we will ever be.
    - Friend of the People
      
      Animals would do better without us. Mother Earth doesn’t care. Her lifespan is measured in billions of years, not thousands. If we had a tremendous nuclear war and wiped out all human life on the planet, our impact would be practically reversed within a few million years (I think it was within 7 million during the post-extinction Cambrian period, but don’t quote me there). In other words, as far as the actual Earth is concerned, we are nothing more than a pimple, not even one big enough to produce a scar. To think we have the power to actually affect the future of the Earth is to assign us far more power and influence than we actually possess.
      
      Also, remember that the only reason we are any worse than animals is because we have the means to create machines and use tools for violence. If ants had the intellectual capacity to make bombs, they would be bombing other ants. Animals can be aggressive, violent, unnecessarily cruel, vicious, and generally evil (variations given based on species, of course). The only thing that sets humans apart is intellect. In terms of capacity to be assholes, that’s the only thing that sets us apart.
      
      That’s not to say humans aren’t inherently evil; it’s just good to remember that animals are generally also evil, if less able to express that evil. Let’s not elevate anyone who doesn’t deserve it :)
      
      Also, I’m pretty sure that in Australia, rabbits are actually causing the most ecological damage. Ok, we released them there, but they’re doing the work.

  Would you rather us be on the streets and peddle drugs? People play games in their free time, after office or uni. Everyone needs a bit of recreation you see and that’s where games, music and movies come in.
- Guest
  
  Good to see that my statement caused so much denial by sheeple.
- NotANON
  
  Games and TV and Movies are not necessarily about ignorance. Mnay movies and TV shows bring attention to important subjects or influence cultureto change in meaningful ways. Games are super good for your brain and decision-making skills. The world needs to play more in order to be a better place. Less time for all the bad stuff that way. Play is positive by definition. Might be better to cut down on negative activities rather than on positive activities.

Let’s see the PS3 list, oh wait.
Sony owns.
That is the way you fuck with pirates, with technology, not with laws or govt iron-hands.
- Noemail
  
  Actually i am sure the PS3 list is short because of the size of the games, not technology. It is SUPER EASY to pirate PS3 games now, but I think alot of people take the rent/gamefly and copy route because the file sizes of many PS3 games are super high due to the added space of blu-ray.
  - Libertarian
    
    So Blu-ray over outdated DVD isn’t technology?
    
    So 4(5?) long years to find a flaw in the anti-pirate technology isn’t technology?
    - Anonymous
      
      What are you talking about? He only stated the game sizes for PS3 games are too high, so people prefer to rent the game and save them in their hard drives.
- Xaulted1
  
  Are you serious? Do you realize how easy it is to rip ps3 games??
  Anti-pirate tech will never, ever, defeat pirates because the rippers are far more intelligent than the encoders and always will be.
  - Friend of the People
    
    It’s not that the rippers are more intelligent than the encoders, it’s that ripping is inherently easier than encoding, for the simple reason that all a ripper has to do is find a flaw in the encoding, while an encoder has to try to plan for everything a ripper could possibly do. Add in that encoders have to do their work in a way that does not unduly alienate existing customers (see Ubisoft for a good example of company that did not follow this guideline), and it’s easier to see why rippers succeed more often; they simply aren’t given as difficult of a task. That’s not to say that ripping is easy or doesn’t require intelligence; that would be untrue. This only says that their task is, by nature, simpler. Therefore, rippers will generally succeed over encoders in the short-term, and almost always will in the long-term.

They should add to console numbers amount of games that are sold between users because that’s technically pirating. I’m surprised console games don’t have a cd key to tie to your console game account.

I thought this would be an awesome top 10 but I only got the top 5… why ;_;

Interestingly for Crysis 2, the game engine and developer tools are available as a free download at crydev.net direct from the company, and have been downloaded over a million times. If you make a good game with it, they will help publish it for a share of the sales. So while it may have been the most pirated game, it may also be the most legal and free downloaded engine at the same time. I think at least one game company, Crytek, “gets it”. Their distributor however, Electronic Arts, are assholes.

PC gamers are just a bunch of pirates. I don’t know why a developer would even make games for that platform any more when most people are just going to steal it.
- guest
  
  not all PC gamers are pirates ill admit i have pirated games but thats because the dam companys dont give demos/betas to allow us to test/try the game before a actual purchase. i dont know bout you but i prefer to try a game before i fork over cash. im not buying a game then realise its a piece of shit and unable to take it back because i already activated it online. sure i could read reviews but what they look for might not be what i look for in a game. By the way learn the difference between piracy and stealing they are not the same. stealing is taking the original while piracy is copying the original which is then altered and distributed.
- http://twitter.com/Tams80 Tams80
  
  That’s a rather silly generalisation and certainly not true.
  
  Piracy on the PC is probably greatest, as getting a pirated copy to play is generally far easier than with a console. There are still plenty of PC gamers who pay for games. Quite a few might not even buy the games if they weren’t released on the PC.
  - Vgamesx1
    
    and I am one of those people who only buy PC games, while I do rip a few here and there.
    I do still pay for the ones I did like a lot.
    I also very much agree with guest, I like to play a game before I spend $30+ on it.
    no telling how many games I got back on ps2 and some of them were shet and not only that but some wouldn’t even play. scraches and what not (and do not start flaming me about disk care when they were used disks).
    
    which btw is also techinally pirating since if I gave the game to a firend then they give it back he didn’t pay for it there for pirated it, so people stop being idoits when it comes to stuff like pirated games.
- http://twitter.com/zarathustra2k1 zarathustra
  
  That’ll be why I, like the majority of my gaming friends, have over 350 games on my Steam account eh, you utter, utter, consoletarded dolt..!

Well – it’s of course interesting to read about the most pirated games but it had been even better if the article could have made a comparison between most pirated and best sold game in each category so we could have seen how much “damage” pirating does to the sell of games

My bet is that there is a positive correlation between most pirated and best sold – Maybe Ernesto could extend his article next time?
- Guest
  
  Agree with U there. Companies are in it to make $. If there is no $ there is no product. So even with piracy on all types & hardware there is still billions to be made. Each download does not mean a lost sale, some would never buy the product to begin with. Post is missing the other top 5, but a sales list as you mentioned would be interesting to see. Not that it would change any ones mind.

I don’t believe the title should be the Top 10 Most PIRATED Games of 2011.

Just because a game is downloaded through torrents, does not mean it is pirated, it could be a legitimate backup.

More accurately it would be the Top 10 Games Most Downloaded Through Torrents of 2011. (But I guess that doesn’t have the same ring to it)

Wow of the Top 5 PC games I’ve legally bought 4 of them Crysis 2, MW3 and Battlefield 3, Portal 2.

It’s been a few years but I’ve always considered downloading games to be a lot more complicated than movies. Usually end up trying to find Keygens or Cracks to get the games to install. Always seem to come with a whole layer of security like Secu-ROM.

  Running the originals is also more complicated for games.
- crack head
  
  download game – install game – install included crack …. VERY easy … No games at legit sites are missing the crack …

The best solution on how to FIX UNSUPPORTED DISCS AND PLAY ANY XGD3 GAME
Anonymous

unless torrentfreak shows EXACTLY how they calculated those numbers, i’m not buying it. because ~4 mio. downloads of crysis 2 seems just ridiculous considering the size of the market and the reception of crysis 2.
although… on the one hand, a bad reception will probably result in more piracy than sales.

still… it seems suspiciously high to me and reminds me of how cd projekt calculated how many copies of witcher 2 were downloaded. which resulted in similarly ridiculous numbers.
Anonymous

and one thing one should keep in mind… download numbers don’t translate into actually played copies. e.g. somebody might download a game 2-3 times because they accidentally delete a copy, hard drive crashed, had to make space and decided to play it in a week or two, etc.
and then there’s the quality of the game. personally, i played through portal 2 but only played crysis 2 for about 20 minutes.
i guess that’s why developers usually don’t release demos any more… they can squeeze out a little more profit because people only realize how shitty a game is AFTER they’ve bought it. and of course – no returns for games.

taking that and the possibility of odd calculation into consideration, i very much doubt that all of those downloaded copies for the PC were played as much as the downloaded copies for consoles. because if you go through the trouble of downloading and burning a dvd or something for a console, you’ll probably actually play it.

The funny part in all this is the shittiest overhyped games are the ones most “pirated”. Why ? Because they’re NOT worth the money, but they’ve been advertised so goddamn much that we must satisfy our curiosity.

Crysis 2 was a stinker. I’m still a fan of the first two games, but C2 was a joke that bored me after a half hour.
