Over 5.5 Million View Valve’s Documentary During Opening Weekend.
Free to Play, a documentary film from Valve that follows the lives of three aspiring professional gamers, has been viewed by over 5.5 million viewers during its opening weekend, making it one of the largest debuts of any documentary film.
Released last week via Twitch, YouTube, iTunes, Steam and other popular online platforms, the film has also received strong reviews from both the press and viewers, currently holding a 9.3 user rating on IMDB.
Created internally at Valve, Free to Play takes an intimate look into the lives of three professional computer gamers. All three speak different languages, and live on different continents (Asia, North America, and Europe). But they all share a passion for the same online game and made major sacrifices to train and compete professionally.
The film takes viewers around the globe as we get to know the players, their families, and their loved ones as they prepare to play for the first $1 million prize ever awarded in pro gaming.
Dota 2 is one of the most played online games in the world with over 7 million active monthly players.
