LEGO Builder’s Journey hits mega milestone following festive giveaway

LEGO Builder’s Journey has now reached an impressive 10 million players in total, with 70% of that number trying out the game for the first time over the festive season.

Developer Light Brick Studio announced this week that its puzzle game found 7 million new players during the holiday season, as a result of the Epic Games Store’s ’15 days of Christmas’ giveaway event. LEGO Builder’s Journey was available to download for free on December 21, and there’s nothing like giving your game away to get people to try it out.

To celebrate, the devs have also revealed that a free ray tracing update is in the works for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S version of LEGO Builder’s Journey. This will apparently harness the latest version of game engine Unity to ‘deliver a stunning photorealistic look using real-time ray tracing of reflections and ambient occlusion’.

The Xbox ray tracing update will drop on March 7, while LEGO Builder’s Journey will be available for 50% off in Xbox’s Family Time Sale from March 7 to 13. Don’t worry if you’re not on Xbox, though: the game is also out on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC and Apple Arcade.

LEGO Builder’s Journey tasks players with guiding their character around charming brick-bult environments by building with and repositioning LEGO bricks. It’s received pretty good reviews, too, and in 2020 won the Golden Joystick Award for Mobile Game of the Year (having originally launched exclusively on Apple Arcade).
